Some users reported weird behavior when installing certain third-party libraries and using them with Tower. Turns out, they expected to have a $HOME env var to save some downloaded content to. We jettisoned that env var while scrubbing the environment for other secrets that may be lurking.

This PR adds it and a few other important UNIX-y ones back in to Unix environments.

I am pretty sure the $PATH one is gonna bite us in the arse soon but let's get this in to fix $HOME

I agree re: $PATH. We want a scrubbed/default version of $PATH but I couldn't really think of how to get it at the time.
