Support relative paths for snippet's filename attribute - only absolute works now

Let's say I have this config:

[General]
Backend = "gist"
Cmd = []
Color = true
Column = 50
Editor = "nvim"
Format = "[$tags] [$description] > $command"
SelectCmd = "fzf --ansi --highlight-line --layout=reverse --border --height=90% --pointer=* --cycle --prompt=Snippets:"
SnippetDirs = []
SnippetFile = "~/.config/pet/snippet.toml"
SortBy = "recency"

I specify a snippet.toml file path like so:

SnippetFile = "~/.config/pet/snippet.toml"

pet new would create an entry like this:

[[Snippets]]
  Description = "Prune git repo"
  Filename = "/home/csessh/.config/pet/snippet.toml"
  Output = ""
  Tag = ["git"]
  command = "git fetch --all --prune"

Filename attribute is displayed as absolute path. This doesn't play too well with porting configs/snippets from one workstation to another if they don't share the same username.

We should support relative paths as well.

I take that you'd prefer pet provides an option for the user to choose between absolute and relative path?

a boolean switch in pet configure config file? like so?

ExpandPaths = true/false

Idk, is that really necessary?

Can you think of an edge case where there is confusion? ex. user inputs relative but expects absolute, or vice versa

My initial feeling is that it will be clear from the path itself if it is relative or absolute. So we don't need this extra config.

ah yeah. you're right.
