If there isn't a .netrc file specified by an environment variable, it can be confusing to see warnings about it. If NETRC isn't set, don't warn. Only warn if: a) can't resolve HOME, b) can load, but can't parse file, c) can't find file, d) file appears to exist at the default location but is unreadable for some reason.
