possibly bad PM2_ROOT_PATH on windows

[norbertbarbosa]

Problem:
I have a C: partition with my user account, and a E: partition with my workdir. When starting pm2 on E:\myWorkdir I always have an error message 'cannot create E:\users\myLogin.pm2

Solution:
on windows, the $HOME directory is done by the combination of %HOMEDRIVE%+%HOMEPATH%, so on $INSTALL_DIR/constants.js, change line 15, to be:
var PM2_ROOT_PATH = '';

if (process.env.PM2_HOME)
PM2_ROOT_PATH = process.env.PM2_HOME;
else
PM2_ROOT_PATH = p.resolve(process.env.HOME || (process.env.HOMEDRIVE + process.env.HOMEPATH), '.pm2');

To be honest, Win32 system is still in beta phase, and have problems.
It's hard to adapt to all machines, how about you change the PM2_HOME env-var manually, i.e.:

%HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%\.pm2
