ENH: Temporary HOME directory for scripts

Created by: Quazgar

The server should create temporary home directory for scripts and set the HOME environment variable accordingly.

Advantages

• This is necessary for running scripts with reduced privileges.
• Scripts may modify their home directory in a non-persistent way.
• In the future, different scripts may come with different pre-configured environments.

Tasks

• Define in detail: Where is home's source located? Can this be configured?
• Write unit tests
• Implement and document home directory copying
