Description

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.
