Add "gpg.format" where the user can specify which type of signature to
use for commits. At the moment only "PGP" is supported and the value is
not even used. This commit prepares for a new types of signatures.

We typically prefer to have option values specified in lower case.  I
also think "openpgp" might be better than "PGP", since that's the name
of the specification and it would avoid any potential unhappiness about
compatibility with PGP or trademarks.

I do not know about trademarks, but the suggested "'openpgp' in
lowercase" sounds sensible.  Some people might even favor doing
strcasecmp() on the value; I do not have a strong opinion on that
yet.
