fix(paths): respect OPENCLAW_HOME for all internal path resolution (#12091)

* fix(paths): respect OPENCLAW_HOME for all internal path resolution (#11995)

Add home-dir module (src/infra/home-dir.ts) that centralizes home
directory resolution with precedence: OPENCLAW_HOME > HOME > USERPROFILE > os.homedir().

Migrate all path-sensitive callsites: config IO, agent dirs, session
transcripts, pairing store, cron store, doctor, CLI profiles.

Add envHomedir() helper in config/paths.ts to reduce lambda noise.
Document OPENCLAW_HOME in docs/help/environment.md.

* fix(paths): handle OPENCLAW_HOME '~' fallback (#12091) (thanks @sebslight)

* docs: mention OPENCLAW_HOME in install and getting started (#12091) (thanks @sebslight)

* fix(status): show OPENCLAW_HOME in shortened paths (#12091) (thanks @sebslight)

* docs(changelog): clarify OPENCLAW_HOME and HOME precedence (#12091) (thanks @sebslight)
