About github.com/opencontainers/runc/libcontainer/user:
According to 195d8d544a
this package has two functions:
- Have a static implementation of user lookup, which is now supported in the
os/user stdlib package with the osusergo build tag, but wasn't at the time.
- Have extra functions that os/user doesn't have, but none of those are used
in homedir.
Since https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/11287, homedir depended directly on
libcontainer's user package for CurrentUser().
This is being replaced with os/user.Current(), because all of our static
binaries are compiled with the osusergo tag, and for dynamic libraries it
is more correct to use libc's implementation than parsing /etc/passwd.
About github.com/docker/docker/pkg/idtools:
Only dependency was from GetStatic() which uses idtools.LookupUID(uid).
The implementation of idtools.LookupUID just calls to
github.com/opencontainers/runc/libcontainer/user.LookupUid or fallbacks
to exec-ing to getent (since https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/27599).
This patch replaces calls to homedir.GetStatic by homedir.Get(), opting out
of supporting nss lookups in static binaries via exec-ing to getent for
the homedir package.
If homedir package users need to support nss lookups, they are advised
to compile dynamically instead.

Please refer to `docs/rootless.md`.
TLDR:
* Make sure `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid` contain the entry for you
* `dockerd-rootless.sh --experimental`
* `docker -H unix://$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.sock run ...`

Fix#29344
If HOME is not set, the gcplogs logging driver will call os/user.Current() via oauth2/google.
However, in static binary, os/user.Current() leads to segfault due to a glibc issue that won't be fixed
in a short term. (golang/go#13470, https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19341)
So we forcibly set HOME so as to avoid call to os/user/Current().
