This document only explains PGP signatures, but Git now supports X.509
signatures as of 1e7adb9756 (gpg-interface: introduce new signature
format "x509" using gpgsm, 2018-07-17), and SSH signatures as of
29b315778e (ssh signing: add ssh key format and signing code,
2021-09-10).
Additionally, explain that these signature formats are controlled
`gpg.format`, linking to its documentation, and explain in said
`gpg.format` documentation that the underlying signature format is
documented in signature-format.txt.

Three hyphens are rendered verbatim in documentation, so "--" has to be
used to produce a dash. Fix asciidoc output for dashes. This is
similar to previous commits f0b922473e (Documentation: render special
characters correctly, 2021-07-29) and de82095a95 (doc
hash-function-transition: fix asciidoc output, 2021-02-05).

file-format documentation into our main documentation space by moving
