Pass trims whitespace

Hello, and thank you for supporting this must-have password utility :)
I have run into a problem described at
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47154078
and
https://stackoverflow.com/users/2347483/phylogenesis
offered a solution.
To be short: `pass` uses `bash`'s `read` to retrieve a password
typed by user.
As a consequence, every whitespace is trimmed before and after the
password : http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/001#Trimming
However, these whitespaces may be significant to user.
If we want to fix this, this line
https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/tree/src/password-store.sh#n443
should be run with a `IFS=` environment, then `$password` on line
447 should be quoted, according to phylogenesis.
What does pass development team thinks of this case ? Would you
consider it a bug? Or maybe an option?
This is it. Thank you for your patience :)
