#3 Support for a password command

Having to store the password in the configuration file is not very convenient as then it cannot be imported into git, and it's yet another plain text password sitting in the home directory. Ideally there would be an option to use a command with arguments to fetch the password from its stdout.

For example, I'd like to be able to use secret-tool (from liblsecret) to talk to my KeePassXC instance where I store the password, as part of its secret service support.

Thanks,
Guillem

    If someone creates a patch that does this, I will test it and if it works, merge it.
