[bug#39077] [PATCH 0/4] gnu: Add browserpass-native.

[Alex Griffin]

This patch series adds browserpass-native. Browserpass is a browser extension 
that integrates the `pass` password manager with the browser. This does not add 
the extension itself, only the native messaging component which runs outside of 
the browser process and communicates with the extension. Packaging the 
extension itself requires better Node.js infrastructure in Guix, so it is left 
to the user to install on their own.

I think this is the first native messaging host to be packaged for Guix, so it 
probably makes sense to get input from the maintainers of IceCat and 
ungoogled-chromium. The native messaging host is not automatically detected by 
either browser - the user needs to run something like `make -C $(guix build 
browserpass-native)/lib/browserpass hosts-chromium-user` to install it into 
their home directory.

Nix builds a wrapper around Firefox to detect the native messaging hosts that 
are installed, and I think Guix should consider doing something similar.
