lib/versioner: Expand tildes in version directory (fixes #9241) (#9327)

### Purpose

Fix #9241 by expanding tildes in version paths.

When creating the versioner file system, first try to expand any leading
tildes to the user's home directory before handling relative paths. This
makes a version path `"~/p"` expand to `"$HOME/p"` instead of
`"/folder/~/p"`.

### Testing

Added a test to lib/versioner that exercises this code path. Also
manually tested with local syncthing instances.
