[pass] Printing full paths with show

Since you mention it, I will say 'pass [show]' acting differently when
given a file or directory makes it hard to write scripts using it since
unless you look inside the password store to see if the argument is a
directory or file, pass is unpredictable in it's behavior and output.
Personally I'd rather see 'pass [show]' throw an error if given a directory
as an argument.
