Yes, the lit tests do this too. However, for this particular test I worked
around that, because it would prevent us from reading the local lldbinit
file. As a mitigation for the issue Pavel mentioned, I did exactly that, I
exported a different HOME env in the test. I'm not 100% that will work
everywhere, but it tricked my LLDB into using that as the home dir.
