[pass] [feature] dir command, for changing $PASSWORD_STORE_DIR

[George Angelopoulos]

And without readlink. This also works on OSX and netbsd which don't have 
readlink
(they do but it does a completely different thing).

# change the password store directory
function passdir {
     if [[ -n "$1" ]]; then
         export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR="$(cd "$1"; pwd)"
     else
         unset PASSWORD_STORE_DIR
     fi
}
