proposed patch for ssh config

I don't know why there is not to used function tilde_expand_filename,
which does exactly the same thing that you are implementing on these 80
lines.

It works fine for including single file, but for conf.d use cases
(described in #2351 and #1613) would be great to have possibility to
include all directory.

I massaged this patch to do so (tilde, wildcard) and I would like to
open the discussion on this topic again. There is a lot of users who
would appreciate this feature in upstream, but no upstream response.

This feature, especially if massaged for sshd_config (can be applied
also for server with small change), would be really helpful for
packaging specific configuration dependent on installed packages
without rewriting the only config file. To have the report complete, I
link Fedora feature request we were discussing recently:
