Include the preamble in online versions of the manual
...
This is more inline with the suggestion in the texinfo manual:
https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/_0040top-Command.html
and also the preamble is useful in all cases.

Add function to expand ~ in .stowrc files ( #14 )
...
Add a new expand_tilde() function that performs tilde expansion of
strings, and corresponding unit tests:
* A ~ at the beginning of a path is expanded to the user's home
directory.
* Literal '~' can be provided with '\~'
Combine this with expand_environment() in a new expand_filepath()
function which applies all (both) required expansion functions to a
string, and use that in get_config_file_options() to expand .stowrc
options.
Add more tests to check that tilde expanded in correct places, i.e.:
* expanded for --target and --dir
* not expanded for --ignore, --defer, or --override
Update documentation on stowrc files according to this functionality
change.

Fix old descriptions of Stow ( #22 )
...
De-emphasise the package management aspects, since these days
almost everyone prefers to use modern package managers such as
rpm / dpkg / Nix for (system-wide) package management.
Also include more popular modern use cases for Stow such as management
of dotfiles and software compiled in the user's $HOME directory.
