[pass] [PATCH] Notify when password goes in/out of clipboard

This seems to require a `notify-send` helper tool, correct?

How about a `-w/--wait` option?

Then for `notify-send` you could do:

     pass -cw «password» && notify-send 'Password cleared from 
clipboard' 'Clipboard reset…'

I use `pass` with Alfred (OS X app launcher) and here Alfred allows 
showing notifications (via the OS notification system), so `pass --wait` 
would also be useful in that context.

In fact, what I currently have is this:

     pass -c "{query}"
     sleep "${PASSWORD_STORE_CLIP_TIME:-45}"
