git: support alternate signing methods (#5516)

The Git module now supports SSH and X.509 signing in addition to
OpenPGP/GnuPG, via setting the `programs.git.signing.format` option.
It defaults to `openpgp` for now as a backwards compatibility measure,
but I feel like we shouldn't enforce GPG as the default on everyone,
especially for people who use SSH signing like me.

Accordingly, `programs.git.signing.gpgPath` has been renamed to
`programs.git.signing.signer`, as now the signer binary is not
restricted to GnuPG. Users should only get a warning and everything
should continue to work.

Fixes #4221, supersedes #4235
