[pass] I'd like to contribute another migration/import script for pwSafe

A combined script would just be a `if version_a ... else if version_b ...`
so not combining them would be a little clearer for anyone maintaining them
or wanting to make changes.

pwSafe is a pretty good password manager that uses the Password Safe
format. Password Safe was designed by Bruce Schneier (the crypto and
security guy). They use a 'one master password unlocks an entire database
of password entries' model.

I started looking around for alternatives, and happily stumbled upon Pass,
because merging all of my separate copies (per device, shared via
Dropbox) of my 'safes' (password stores) was a big pain. I do Git merges a
lot more often so Pass should be a lot easier.
