Add support to the sftp-server for the home-directory extension defined
in [1]. This overlaps a bit with the existing expand-path at openssh.com,
but uses a more official protocol name, and so is a bit more likely to
be implemented by clients.
I wrote this before expand-path at openssh.com existed, so posting it if
only to not be totally wasted effort. I'd understand if people would
prefer not to implement this at all, but if there is interest, I can
see about unifying the two functions a bit.
