Restore relative path handling for database.path

Subject: Restore relative path handling for database.path

Release 0.32 broke (at least) `notmuch new` if database.path has a
relative value.

Although support for relative paths was undocumented, it was
introduced as an easier (to implement) alternative to ~
expansion. Restore the pre-0.32 functionality, and treat path config
items introduced in 0.32 consistently.
