notably this is needed when the shell itself does not get a chance to expand "~",
e.g. when a path is passed via JSON-RPC
>>> os.path.normcase(os.path.realpath(os.path.abspath("~/.electrum/testnet/wallets/delete_me2")))
'/home/user/wspace/electrum/~/.electrum/testnet/wallets/delete_me2'
>>> os.path.normcase(os.path.realpath(os.path.abspath(os.path.expanduser("~/.electrum/testnet/wallets/delete_me2"))))
'/home/user/.electrum/testnet/wallets/delete_me2'
