It is not immediately clear what `expand_user_path()` means, so let's
rename it to `interpolate_path()`. This also opens the path for
interpolating more than just a home directory.

When holding the lock for rewriting the credential file, use a timeout
to avoid race conditions when the credentials file needs to be updated
in parallel.
An example would be doing `fetch --all` on a repository with several
remotes that need credentials, using parallel fetching.
The timeout can be configured using "credentialStore.lockTimeoutMS",
defaulting to 1 second.

There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I
did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_
to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed,
the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile
build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large.
We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins.
This reduces the size of:
make strip install
from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system.
Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix
sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is
set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our
list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that
dies with an informative message. That has two advantages:
- it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside
the credential-cache source
- a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't
use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git
command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken.
Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order
to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as
well).
