bug#50953: auth-source-pass should not be limited to a local directory

[Lorenzo Martinico]

The pass command is the command to invoke password-store, "the 
UNIX
password manager" (passwordstore.org), which is what 
auth-source-pass
purports to use.
On my system, this is an alias for a process that fetches
passwords from another host in a compatible way to password store. 
The
vault host is not accessible through ssh, so I
can't just change the gpg file location as suggested.
