Subject: [PATCH] Fix projectile-recentf with inactive project (#1881)

projectile-recentf-files expands recentf files to use canonicalized
versions, /home/example/project instead of ~/project. However, if the
project is not active and projectile-recentf was called, it would return
non-canonicalized directory which then fails the comparison with recentf
list.
