[pass] [PATCH] Added Parcellite clipboard manager support.

[Andrew Todd]

Since it looks like Jason has been monitoring more actively, I hope no-one
minds if I re-submit this simple patch from last year.

Parcellite is a standalone clipboard manager with a nice (if
underdocumented)
feature: it can be turned on and off through a fifo control. This patch
turns
off parcellite just before copying a password to the clipboard, and turns it
back on once the clipboard has been reset.
