[pass] totp enhancement

[Lenz Weber]

Hi,
this looks like a great idea!

On the code itself: it looks fine to me, but I would replace the
backticks with $(), as that style is used everywhere else in pass.

But at the moment, I think there are some concerns that may keep it from
getting integrated (but this is just guesswork, I'm not the maintainer)
 * it introduces a new dependency: oathtool
 * it introduces a new file name convention which impacts other commands
 * it moves a bit away from the "only one functionality" thing pass does
otherwise.

My thought on this is (and yes, I'm conquering your thread a bit with
this, sorry):
This might be a perfect example for a used-defined command hook.
We have been discussing this idea a few days ago (take a look at the
archive:
http://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/password-store/2015-August/thread.html#1659
).

The gist of it is: you create a script with contents like

    #!/bin/bash
    OTP_OPTS=( $PASSWORD_STORE_OTP_OPTS "--base32" "-w 3" "--totp" )
    OTP="oathtool"
    $OTP "${OTP_OPTS[@]}" $(cmd_show "$@" | head -n1)

save it as '~/.password-store/.subcommand_hooks/otp', make it executable
and sign it and it would be available as
    pass otp <password-name>

If you like the idea and want to do some testing, I'm desperately
waiting for feedback ;)

Regards,
Lenz
