* rename BLI_gethome to BLI_getDefaultDocumentFolder to better reflect how this function is used
* replaced BLI_gethome with getenv("HOME") on Linux and Mac where it retrieves location of bookmarks that are inserted as system bookmarks. BLI_gethome was a thin wrapper around these and in this case the user's home directory is what is actually wanted.
