Add ~ expansion to global attributes and excludes

This adds ~/ prefix expansion for the value of core.attributesfile
and core.excludesfile, plus it fixes the fact that the attributes
cache was holding on to the string data from the config for a long
time (instead of making its own strdup) which could have caused a
problem if the config was refreshed.  Adds a test for the new
expansion capability.
