Problem:  runtime(netrw): ~ note expanded on MS Windows
          (Tom Vamvanij)
Solution: Expand ~ on MS Windows (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)

On Windows, ":Explore ~" did nothing because the tilde expansion was
gated to Unix/Cygwin only.  Additionally, substitute() interprets
backslashes in the replacement string specially (e.g. \U as a case
modifier), which would corrupt $HOME values like C:\Users\name even
if the branch were taken.

Include has("win32") in the guard, anchor the pattern to the start of
the string, and escape backslashes, ampersands and tildes in $HOME
before substituting.

fixes:  vim/vim#20003
closes: vim/vim#20014
