[pass] Proposal: fuzzy search

[Kun Zhang]

Happy to see other people thinking the same thing :) I also started with a
simple script that does find and grep in .password-store, but then I
realized it's probably a better idea to integrate it to pass, because:
1) I want to be able to run "pass show" with and without --clip, with and
without the line number. I don't want to re-implement argument parsing in
my script.
2) Such feature is probably useful for other people.  Having it in the main
pass script is most convenient for users.
