 Allowing to filter the return value of wp-
 admin/includes/file.php:get_home_path() would help to handle cases when
 WordPress is used as an headless Rest API backend and wp_options home
 points to a different domain than siteurl.

 In such a case, get_home_path fails to get the absolute filesystem path of
 the root of the WordPress installation.

 Being able to filter the output of get_home_path() would allow developers
 to avoid breaking its functionality on headless setup.

 Why is important: in a headless setup, having wp_options home set to the
 frontend domain allow WordPress to generate user-facing urls with the
 correct domain.
