[PATCH v4 3/5] log: --show-signature

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This teaches the "log" family of commands to pass the GPG signature in the commit objects to "gpg --verify" via the verify_signed_buffer() interface used to verify signed tag objects. E.g.

    $ git show --show-signature -s HEAD
shows GPG output in the header part of the output.
