CLI doesn't recognize "~" as "/home"

Should it though? Or just check if the user provides a path that starts with "~" and print a descriptive error message?

@olayway i think standard approach is discussed in https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/684#issuecomment-240849243 - i think this is something we can just do ourselves.
