Natanael Copa cb34cee0d8 snd_user_file: avoid use wordexp
As suggested in POSIX[1], wordexp might execute the shell. If the libc
implementation does so, it will break the firefox sandbox which does
not allow exec. This happened on Alpine Linux with musl libc[2].

Since we cannot guarantee that the system wordexp implementation does
not execute shell, we cannot really use it, and need to implement the
~/ expansion ourselves.

We provide a configure option --with-wordexp for users that still may
need it, but we leave this off by default because wordexp is a large
attack vector and it is better to avoid it.
