[FEATURE] "Store" PGP passphrase in the Keystore #773

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My PGP key has a long passphrase.
With OpenKeychain it was at least possible to cache the passphrase for some time, but with the new backend, I have to type in the passphrase every time I need a password (I know I can remember it until my screen is off, but it doesn't solve my problem).

I want Android Password Store to be able to decrypt my passwords using my fingerprint.

Describe the solution you'd like

Quickly checking alternative password managers and conducting some superficial Gemini-assisted research shows that it should be possible to encrypt a PGP passphrase with a key from the Keystore, and thus effectively use the fingerprint to decrypt any pass secret.

Describe alternatives you've considered

n/a

Additional context

This seems like an obvious feature, and I was surprised when I could find one already opened. So I wouldn't be surprised if the feature is actually already present in the app and I missed it, or the feature was requested already. I apologize if I missed that. Please LMK.
