comment out the warning about /dev/shm

When trying to edit an entry, pass will give the following warning:

=3D=3D=3D
Your system does not have /dev/shm, which means that it may
be difficult to entirely erase the temporary non-encrypted
password file after editing.

Are you sure you would like to continue?
=3D=3D=3D

and awaits confirmation before it proceeds to the editor.


As /dev/shm is only a Linuxism for a memory-based tempfs, it has no meaning=
 on
FreeBSD. So this is only hindering the workflow (at best), gets annoying
quickly if one is often editing entries, and it may even confuse some users
because it is named similar to SYSV/POSIX shared memory.


I therefore propose the attached patch to mute the warning.
