Temp homedir patch
On hosts with nfs homedirs, it can be useful to have an option of not
using your real $HOME from time to time. I've put together a patch
which allows a client to request a temp homedir using the option
RequestTempHomedir. On the server, I've added a PermitTempHomedir
option to allow this feature. It can also be triggered selectively
using a Match directive.

I think it should be allowed always to use $HOME, according to
getpwnam(3):
"An application that wants to determine its user's home
directory should inspect the value of HOME (rather than the
value getpwuid(getuid())->pw_dir) since this allows the user to modify
their notion of "the home directory" during a login session."
I see no reason to get initial homedir.
