fix: allow env vars and SSH tokens in IdentityFile validation (issue #33)

ValidateIdentityFile now accepts $VAR/${VAR} (expanded via os.Expand, undefined vars accepted as-is) and SSH tokens like %d, %h before falling back to os.Stat.
The raw value is preserved when writing to ssh_config.

+sshm pro<TAB>        # Completes to hosts starting with "pro" (e.g., prod-server)

+```bash
+# Enable for current session
+source <(sshm completion bash)
+
+# Enable permanently (add to ~/.bashrc)
+echo 'source <(sshm completion bash)' >> ~/.bashrc

+```bash
+# Enable for current session
+source <(sshm completion zsh)
+
+# Enable permanently (add to ~/.zshrc)

 - **disable_esc_quit**: Boolean flag to disable ESC key from quitting the application. Default: `false`

 If you frequently press ESC accidentally causing the application to quit, set `disable_esc_quit` to `true`. This will disable ESC as a quit key while preserving all other functionality.

+If SSHM is slow to start due to DNS timeouts when reaching GitHub, set `check_for_updates` to `false`. You can also use the `--no-update-check` CLI flag for a one-time override without editing the config file.
