📄 Description

Implemented a new function called expand_home in util.c, in order to help with issue #40 . The following now work, that didn't before:

firejail --private-home=~/dir/file
firejail --private-home=${HOME}/dir/file

As a nice side-effect, the following now also works (previously --private only supported ~ for homedir):

firejail --private=${HOME}/dir

Hopefully I haven't broken anything else but please give it a test!
