Support for `${userHome}`

Feature Request

You can find the official variables here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/variables-reference

Currently the only what to make system independent configuration for c_cpp_properties.json is to use stuff like
${env:HOME}/compiler/arm-none-eabi-gcc. As you can see this isn't platform independent as it doesn't work on Windows,
where the alternative would be ${env:USERPROFILE}/compiler/arm-none-eabi-gcc.

So please implement support for ${userHome} as platform independent alias for the node.js homedir():
