Sahilb315 de0fa41852 fix: resolve per-user paths from root's own home when running as root
Path resolution trusted HOME (and XDG_*), which sudo and su can preserve
from the invoking user (GitHub runners, sudo -E, su without -). Any pmg
run as root then created root-owned ~/.config/safedep inside that user's
home, and event-log init fail-closed every later non-root pmg/npm/pip
run for them. System install made sudo pmg the documented flow, turning
this latent bug into the happy path.

When euid is 0, configDir and cacheDir now resolve from root's passwd
home instead of the environment, so root state lands under /root and
user homes are never touched. PMG_CONFIG_DIR/PMG_CACHE_DIR still win,
non-root resolution is unchanged, and Windows is unaffected (no euid).
Event-log init stays fatal on failure; sudo-run package events are
attributed via SUDO_USER and synced by the exit auto-sync as usual.

E2E: GitHub runners preserve HOME under sudo, so assert that no sudo
pmg run leaks state into the runner's home, and that the managed-config
refusal fails for the documented reason rather than a permission brick.
