jsonapi to support edit

[rounakdatta]

Summary

Today gopass-jsonapi does not support the API to edit a password. Having that feature would definitely be useful.

Steps To Reproduce

https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/blob/master/docs/jsonapi.md - the documentation clearly mentions which APIs are available, and edit is not a part of it.

Expected behavior

An API corresponding to edit

• request

{
   "type": "edit",
   "login": "myusername",
   "password": "mynewpassword"
}

• response

{
   "username": "myusername",
   "password": "mynewpassword"
}

Environment

• OS: macOS Catalina
• OS version: Darwin
• gopass Version: 1.10.1
• Installation method: source/brew

Additional context

Having this API as a part of the jsonapi would open up multiple other opportunities like feature of editing directly from the gopassbridge extension. Nice to have.

Sounds like a useful feature. 👍
We can discuss the implementation details in the PR.

For reference, this relates to: gopasspw/gopassbridge#178

Hi All,
If no one is working on this enhancement, can I start working on this?
