   ~ is normally expanded by the shell, so it would not get expanded in a YAML config. But, it would be nice if we manually expand it when we read the config.

   If run as the services, using ~ it recognizes the user-data folder well
   But other stuff might not, ie:

   [error] Unable to read file '/~/.config/code-server-user-data/extensions/extensions.json' (Error: Unable to resolve nonexistent file '/~/.config/code-server-user-data/extensions/extensions.json'): Error: Unable to read file '/~/.config/code-server-user-data/extensions/extensions.json' (Error: Unable to resolve nonexistent file '/~/.config/code-server-user-data/extensions/extensions.json')
