bpo-39899: os.path.expanduser(): don't guess other Windows users' home directories if the basename of the current user's home directory doesn't match their username. (GH-18841)
This makes `ntpath.expanduser()` match `pathlib.Path.expanduser()` in this regard, and is more in line with `posixpath.expanduser()`'s cautious approach.
Also remove the near-duplicate implementation of `expanduser()` in pathlib, and by doing so fix a bug where KeyError could be raised when expanding another user's home directory.
:func:`os.path.expanduser()` now refuses to guess Windows home directories if the basename of current user's home directory does not match their username.

:meth:`pathlib.Path.expanduser()` and :meth:`~pathlib.Path.home()` now consistently raise :exc:`RuntimeError` exception when a home directory cannot be resolved. Previously a :exc:`KeyError` exception could be raised on Windows when the ``"USERNAME"`` environment variable was unset.
