support in ~/ and SSH_DIR/ in filenames instead of %s/

Get rid of snprintf to fixed sized buffers in setting options.
Instead make locations starting with ~/ relative to the
users initial working directory (as libssh does not look into
the home directory but only at the initial home directory).
and starting with SSH_DIR/ relative to the configured ssh directory.
