Add transient UI

This patch adds a lot of functionality to the emacs library to make it
more user-friendly (IMHO). It contains a bunch of things I've written
to make my life easier and to integrate better with emacs.

To create a nice menu interface, it takes advantage of the transient
library that has been recently added to emacs, but it will still work
when transient is not present.

There's a bunch of new functions for working with pass entries as well
(see below), all of which are exposed through the password-store-menu
function.

When editing pass entries with emacs directly (by simply visiting the
file instead of going through "pass edit"), a new major mode will make
sure to automatically commit changes to VC.

Here's a list of features I've added:

- New function password-store-menu that shows a transient interface exposing almost everything pass can do through one or two keypresses.
- When using the transient menu, we allow calling "pass generate" with -i, -f, -n switches and a customizable length
- New function password-store-view: open pass entry in view mode
- New function password-store-browse-and-copy: open URL and copy secret
- New function password-store-dired: open password-store-dir in dired
- New function password-store-visit: visit entry using current emacs for editing, without going through "pass edit"
- New functions password-store-pull, -push, -diff that call vc-pull, vc-push, vc-diff
- New function password-store-insert-multiline, that uses popup buffer to edit the new entry.
- New function password-store--completing-read-new-entry that asks for confirmation when you select an existing file. Used by password-store-insert as an analogue for the --force flag.
- Major mode password-store-edit-mode for gpg files in the password store. Currently the only thing this does, is auto-commit to VC when saving.
- Auto-commit can be disabled through custom setting
- Call password-store-enable to setup keybinding for menu as well as major mode for editing password files
- Customize keybinding
