Tilde (~) not recognized in key file path #9
Description
The issue
Heiko allows a custom SSH private key to be used for auth, instead of the one generated by heiko. This can be set in the configuration as shown:
https://github.com/psiayn/heiko/blob/fb8b464ec2d4308fde9a4d6cfbcc2762d2851783/examples/sample-config.yml#L9
Generally, these keys are stored in ~/.ssh (which is $HOME/.ssh). Providing the path with the ~ (tilde) in it is not recognized by heiko, it exits with this error:
init: SSH Key ~/.ssh/somekey.pub for node somenode does not exist: stat ~/.ssh/somekey.pub: no such file or directory
The solution
When the paths are read on this line:
https://github.com/psiayn/heiko/blob/fb8b464ec2d4308fde9a4d6cfbcc2762d2851783/internal/config/sshSetup.go#L110-L112
If it starts with ~/, it must be expanded appropriately. Possible approaches for this are here and here.
