Issue Description

~ will not expend as the following

steps:
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'Install Stryker'
  continueOnError: true
  inputs:
    command: custom
    custom: tool
    arguments: 'install dotnet-stryker --tool-path ~/tools'

- script: |    
    ls ~/tools # will fail as no such folder since ~ is not expand. More see log

Hey @wli3 , We are exploring ways to handle this scenario as this is the first time one has asked about this scenario and this change may break other people’s scenario. Anyhow the Cx is unblocked by using Agent.BuildDirectory.
