CDK CLI errors when run as a non-existent user

See original GitHub issue

A regression in 1.37 means that the CDK CLI will error out if it is run by a user not in /etc/passwd

Reproduction Steps

npx cdk init app --language=typescript
npm install
docker run -u 502:502 -v $(pwd):/app -w /app node ./node_modules/.bin/cdk list

Error Log

The error goes away if you mount an /etc/passwd containing a user with UID 502

❯ docker run -it -u 502:502 -v $(pwd)/etc_passwd:/etc/passwd -v $(pwd):/app -w /app node ./node_modules/.bin/cdk list

or if you provide a CDK_HOME env var

❯ docker run -it -u 502:502 -v $(pwd):/app -e CDK_HOME=foo -w /app node ./node_modules/.bin/cdk list
