Re: [PATCH v3 1/4] builtin/verify-tag.c: Ignore SIGPIPE on gpg-interface

From: Santiago Torres <redacted>

The verify_signed_buffer comand might cause a SIGPIPE signal when the
gpg child process terminates early (due to a bad keyid, for example) and
git tries to write to it afterwards. Previously, ignoring SIGPIPE was
done on the builtin/gpg-verify.c command to avoid this issue. However,
any other caller who wanted to use the verify_signed_buffer command
would have to include this signal call.

Instead, we use sigchain_push(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN) on the
verify_signed_buffer call (pretty much like in sign_buffer()) so
that any caller is not required to perform this task. This will avoid
possible mistakes by further developers using verify_signed_buffer.
