Support NFC for passphrase #96

Allow reading a text passphrase from an NFC tag.

I've been thinking about this idea too, for KeePass password manager but ConnectBot could benefit from it too. I'd obviously want to encrypt the text on the NFC tag with some pre-shared key that the app/other things know in case of loss, and maybe still be incomplete and require a small amount of easy input on the phone (or for KeePass, the computer too when it runs on there) to fully confirm authenticated access.

I wondered if Tasker could help here / the NFC Tools or Tasks app, but not quite trivial and only suggested way is making them use the copy-paste way which is less secure of course.
