subrepo: reject potentially unsafe subrepo paths (BC) (SEC) In addition to the previous patch, this prohibits '~', '$nonexistent', etc. for any subrepo types. I think this is safer, and real-world subrepos wouldn't use such (local) paths.

 Test tilde
 ----------
 
-The leading tilde may be expanded to $HOME, but it's a valid subrepo path.
-However, we might want to prohibit it as it seems potentially unsafe.
