pass generate without writing to store

[Nils André]

This is the line that generates passwords in pass:
https://git.zx2c4.com/password-store/tree/src/password-store.sh?id=28cec11f1dbe6c4273d30370af45b69c9f408386#n539

You can use that to generate your own passwords. Otherwise there's
programs like pwgen[0].
