[pass] [PATCH] Add support for displaying QR codes.

[George Angelopoulos]

2048 bit private key is too big for a qrcode.
But even if it weren't, I don't see what the advantage is. Your key
still gets decrypted on the device, even if only for a short time.
So you could do the reverse and just keep the encrypted priv key on the
device.
If you trust the device, keep the key on it.
If you don't trust the device, don't stick your key in it!
