[pass] Printing full paths with show

Then again, the beauty of KISS is that you don't need to use `pass show` in
scripts. You could just as well use `gpg -d`, for consuming cleartext
passwords, or `ls`, for showing subdirectory contents, directly.

An exception to this, I guess, would be `pass show --clip`, which has some
additional security features (such as resetting the clipboard after a
timeout) you might want to reuse.
