why is PA_DIR equal to the passwords dir, not the basedir? #46

why is PA_DIR equal to ~/.local/share/pa/passwords instead of ~/.local/share/pa?

the var feels unintuitive to set currently. you have to do:

PA_DIR=/my/custom/dir/passwords

i wonder if there's a historical reason why

this also has the side-effect of "hardcoding" the identity/recipient file location.

didn't you set it up this way? https://github.com/biox/pa/commit/264f7ee06cf1f07dab4e50180e7449cc5eae1c90
