Fixes #203

Problem

The CA certificate file browser in the Silo database settings dialog hardcoded /etc/ssl/certs as the fallback directory. When the cert input field was empty, the file dialog opened to a confusing system directory.

Fix

Changed the fallback from /etc/ssl/certs to os.path.expanduser("~") (user home directory). When a certificate path is already set, the dialog still opens to its parent directory.
