--user-data-dir option doesn't process tilde correctly

Reported by just4ste...@gmail.com, Aug 10 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.90 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch Chromium with a "--user-data-dir=~/.config/chromium/profile1" option
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
Directory with a '~' name is created in the home directory instead of tilde being parsed as the user's home dir.

Did this work before? N/A

tilde expansion is a feature of your shell. Shells generally only do tilde expansion if the tilde is the first character of the argument, which it isn't in this example. You can use $HOME instead.
