Issues were:
* `settings_file` `ValidateFunc` needs to expand homedir just like the
`configure` does, otherwise ~-based paths fail validation
* `isFile` was being called before ~-expand so configure was failing as well
* `Config` was swallowing error so provider was ending up with `nil`,
resulting in crash
To fix:
* Consolidate settings_file path/contents handling into a single helper
called from both `validate` and `configure` funcs
* Return err from `Config`
To cover:
* Added test case to validate w/ tilde-path
* Added configure test w/ tilde-path
Only the azure_instance is fully working (for both Linux and Windows
instances) now, but needs some tests. network and disk and pretty much
empty, but the idea is clear so will not take too much time…
