[PATCH] Add option '-m' to generate to add additional multiline data.

[Pass Word]

One nice thing about the multiple -m options on the command line is you 
could do something like this:

-m "user: "$(pass generate -n deleteme 10 2>/dev/null| tail -1)

Some websites want you to have an exposed username in addition to an 
email address and I started using a throwaway password for that.
