std::fs::canonicalize does most of the work, but it doesn't expand ~. std::env::home_dir is deprecated. So I added the dirs dependency, which is relatively light and only has one dependency.
Features:
. and .. are resolved
~ is resolved to the current users home directory (should work on all major OSs; see the documentation for dirs::home_dir)
symbolic links are resolved (see std::fs::canonicalize)
Limitations:
expansion of other users home directories is not supported (~user/)
expansion only works for files which exist on the filesystem (see std::fs::canonicalize)
