Support DOTFILEMANAGER_HOSTNAME environment variable.

Browse Source 
Fix bug with relative paths: always convert paths retrieved from the
command line args or from reading a link to absolute paths and expand
~'s.

Silence some print statements unless doing the report action.

Delete an unnecessary `path = os.path.join(to_dir,filename)` line.

Tip: override hostname with DOTFILEMANAGER_HOSTNAME environment variable
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Support hostname as a command-line argument, overriding the system
hostname. This might be useful for accounts on networked systems where
you login to the same user account from different computers, the system
hostname will be different each time you switch computers but you want
to use the same config files whenever you login to this account. So just
make up a name for the account and pass it as a command-line argument
overriding the system hostname.
If the DOTFILEMANAGER_HOSTNAME environment variable is set then it is used
instead of your real hostname to resolve hostname-specific files in TO_DIR.
This is useful for accounts on networked systems where you login to the same
user account from different computers, the system hostname will be different
each time you switch computers but you want to use the same config files
whenever you login to this account. So just make up a name for the account and
set it as the value of DOTFILEMANAGER_HOSTNAME.
