Error running cypress with --config-file set to an absolute path #6136

Description

@gabrielSchaidhauer

Current behavior:

When cypress is runned using cypress open --config-file ~/config.json a folder is created under the project tree with the path path/to/home/config.json instead of looking into the existing file at home folder.

Desired behavior:

The desired behavior would be for the cypress to find the config file at the home folder and use it.

Test code to reproduce

Steps:

1 - Setup a sample project with cypress;
2 - Create a config file at home named for example cypress.json;
3 - Create a npm script to run the command with `cypress open --config-file ~/cypress.json;
4 - Run the script;
5 - A new folder should be created under the project folder with a empty cypress.json configuration inside it;
