Environment variable "HOME=/github/home" now becomes "HOME" for self-hosted runner

[coiby]

Describe the bug
Previously (2.295.0), docker create was executed with -e "HOME=/github/home" now it is executed with -e "HOME". It seems this is reason why the job container failed to start as this is only difference between the jobs run by runner 2.295.0 and 2.296.1 respectively.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. re-run this job

Expected behavior

The runner call docker create with -e "HOME=/github/home"

Version of your runner?
2.296.1

OS of the machine running the runner? OSX/Windows/Linux/...

What's not working?
