```
Introduce an option to deny unsigned tags from entering
a repository. This is useful in teams where members forget
to sign their release tags.

It does not actually check whether the signature is actually
complete or valid, it just checks for the beginning of a
signature, as further checks would be too involved.

This effectively also denies un-annotated tags, as those
are unsigned by definition.

There are some accidental space characters in front of that, this is fixed locally
already. Sorry.
