PyPI removes PGP-signature support

The PyPI package archive has removed support
for PGP signatures
on packages.

In other words, out of all of the unique keys that had uploaded
signatures to PyPI, only 36% of them were capable of being
meaningfully verified at the time of audit. Even if all of those
signatures uploaded in that 3 year period of time were made by one
of those 36% of keys that are able to be meaningfully verified,
that would still represent only 0.3% of all of those files.

Given all of this, the continued support of uploading PGP
signatures to PyPI is no longer defensible.
