Expand user in the CodeChecker binary path

We are using `spawn` method to execute a CodeChecker command.
If the executable path starts with a `~` (e.g.: `~/CodeChecker/bin/CodeChecker`),
the `spawn` method doesn't work properly and will give an exception.

For more information see: nodejs/node#684

To solve this problem we will expand the `~` in the file path before
executing the command.
