fix: per-profile subprocess HOME isolation (#4426) (#7357)
Isolate system tool configs (git, ssh, gh, npm) per profile by injecting
a per-profile HOME into subprocess environments only.  The Python
process's own os.environ['HOME'] and Path.home() are never modified,
preserving all existing profile infrastructure.

Activation is directory-based: when {HERMES_HOME}/home/ exists on disk,
subprocesses see it as HOME.  The directory is created automatically for:
- Docker: entrypoint.sh bootstraps it inside the persistent volume
- Named profiles: added to _PROFILE_DIRS in profiles.py

Injection points (all three subprocess env builders):
- tools/environments/local.py _make_run_env() — foreground terminal
- tools/environments/local.py _sanitize_subprocess_env() — background procs
- tools/code_execution_tool.py child_env — execute_code sandbox

Single source of truth: hermes_constants.get_subprocess_home()

"""Tests for per-profile subprocess HOME isolation (#4426).
Verifies that subprocesses (terminal, execute_code, background processes)
receive a per-profile HOME directory while the Python process's own HOME
and Path.home() remain unchanged.
