[pass] [PATCH] Add support for 'show -t/--tail' to print 2nd and subsequent lines

[Von Welch]

Hi Phillip,

 Thanks for chiming in. Yes, 'pass -c -t <store>' is basically my default
now, putting the password into the clipboard and all the metadata to
stdout. Once I had this ability, I find it's what I want most of the time
and it's benign the rest.

 Part of this, which is a principle I don't think we all agree on, is that
I'm adverse to putting passwords to stdout if I can avoid it. I use my
laptop for presentations, in meetings, go through TSA, etc. such that I try
to minimize trust in the privacy of my screen, so I avoid running pass
without -c if possible and a tail lets me get at my metadata without the
password.

Von
