[pass] copying usernames and urls

[Johan Venant]

I proposed a patch for this adding a field attribut to pass:

 Add the capacity to output or copy in the clipboard only
 the specified field instead of the password.
 Using the standard format : <field>: <value> in the password data


Never had any feedback about this....
