activation: Aways pass '-d HOME' to 'useradd'.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/33422>. Reported by fps. * gnu/build/activation.scm (add-user): Always pass "-d HOME" when HOME is true. Pass "--create-home" only when HOME, CREATE-HOME?, and SYSTEM? are true. (activate-users+groups): Pass #:create-home? create-home? to 'ensure-user'. * gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test)["accounts"]: Test 'passwd:dir' as well.
