Description

Instead of endlessly discussing various trust models etc, just implement a simple scheme:

```toml
[package.metadata.simplesign]
key = "HEX_PGP_KEY"
```

Add `.signature` file to the project which is inline signed SHA256SUMs of all non-hidden files.
Add `cargo sisi` command which will fetch and check all crates using TOFU model.
`cargo sisi sign` can be used to sign the current state of directory.
`cargo sisi assign PACKAGE FINGERPRINT` - for paranoid users who want to add the record before pulling it first time

Much better than nothing and we can then figure out better solutions.

Research direction

Start with the requested [package.metadata.simplesign] configuration and the cargo sisi entry points. Define completion around producing an inline-signed .signature for SHA256SUMs of non-hidden files, checking crates with TOFU, and supporting the sign and assign commands.
