[pass] [Feature Request] Add a `--raw` option to `pass ls`

[Linden Krouse]

I would argue that having parsable output would make more sense for a cli
program than pretty print. Anyone can write a wrapper to pretty print
something easily parsable, but it's a pain to parse pretty print, even if
it isn't subject to change. While running a find on the password store
directory is an option, it bypasses `pass` entirely. This means, if `pass`
ever chooses to start saving it's store differently, any reimplementations
of it's password store reader will break.

I'm in favor of the above patch!
