home-manager: support username with special chars (#5609)

Browse source 
The home manager script fails when $USER contains special characters.

For example, my work PC is managed by company's LDAP and username is <COMPANY>\<user>). When running home-manager switch I get the following error:
```
error: flake 'path:/home/<COMPANY>/<user>/.config/home-manager' does not provide attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.homeConfigurations."<COMPANY>\<user>".activationPackage', 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.homeConfigurations."<COMPANY>\<user>".activationPackage' or 'homeConfigurations."<COMPANY>\<user>".activationPackage'
       Did you mean <COMPANY><user>?
```
There are two types of strings that need escaping:

    strings in Nix expressions (e.g. home.nix generated by home-manager init)
    they need backslashes before special chars
    flake URI (passed to nix build)
    they need URI's percent encoding, luckily jq supports that
