Examine locally saves the debug symbols to /home/user/~/.cache

[Jason Conti]

When retracing a crash locally in precise, the apport-retrace cache is being saved to /home/user/~/.cache/apport with the '~' character being used as the directory name.

This seems to be caused by the call to apport-retrace in apport/ui.py. The ~ isn't expanded in:

apport-retrace -S system -C ~/.cache/apport/retrace -v
