[PATCH v4 1/7] gpg-interface: add new config to select how to sign a commit

[Henning Schild <henning.schild@siemens.com>]

Add "gpg.format" where the user can specify which type of signature to
use for commits. At the moment only "openpgp" is supported and the value is
not even used. This commit prepares for a new types of signatures.
