Use pinentry if available #182

rage has pinentry support: https://github.com/str4d/rage/pull/64

It would be great if age could have it too.

From yubikey-agent it seems that it can be done using: github.com/gopasspw/gopass/pkg/pinentry

I've decided we won't provide alternative password input methods in cmd/age, but we'll ship them all in a separate plugin, like sshpass. I'll make sure to support pinentry there, and I'll update discussion #256 when it's ready. See https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/discussions/256#discussioncomment-2638232 for a bit more details.
