[pass] Extending pass with user-defined hooks / add ons

Hi,

Having a „pass-age“ sub-command somewhere in $PATH:~/.password-store/.hooks/ ?
Thats a nice idea :-) I like it.

Convinced :-) I’d like to keep the addons together with my passwords.
This way, I can sync my add ons using „pass git pull“.

I would say, that we should agree to a hidden subdir in ~/.password-store which gets automatically added to $PATH by pass.

Some proposals (which one do you like?)

	~/.password-store/.hooks/
	~/.password-store/.addons/
	~/.password-store/.plugins/
	~/.password-store/.subcommands/
	~/.password-store/.extensions/

Kind Regards,

Steffen

PS: I will prepare a patch soon (tm).
