Ability to create home directory

[ThePrez]

Changes

Fixes #1205

Changes:

• Check if home directory exists but is not writeable
• Allow for automatic creation of home directory (after asking the user)
• Added a console.log message when creating the home directory (runs counter to PR checklist requirements)
• Remove guidance about giving the user a home directory via CHGUSRPRF as I believe it to be incorrect

Checklist

• have tested my change
• [ ] updated relevant documentation N/A
• [ ] Remove any/all console.logs I added (See note above in change list)
• eslint is not complaining
• have added myself to the contributors' list in CONTRIBUTING.md
• for feature PRs: PR only includes one feature enhancement.

@ThePrez Thanks for the PR, great enhancement of the home directory validation. I will test this asap. 😃

@ThePrez Using ~ instead of $HOME does not fully work in the default shell /QOpenSys/usr/bin/bsh:

cd ~
~: No such file or directory

We can't assume the users are running bash as shell, however much we would like that.
Also, for IBM i users not fully familiar with IFS and shells, I think it's better to have the absolute path from $HOME in the IFS browser and not the tilde ~. And also for us as developers when debugging issues etc.

WDYT?
