ci(signed-commits): use GPG signing

[v1v]

Motivation/summary

Support signed commits using a GPG linked to the user used for the automation.

I double-checked different alternatives as explained in actions/runner#667

But decided to use a native GitHub action for the sake of simplicity; eventually, we could use the GitHub graphql approach, but I don't know if that behaviour will change in the future. For now, I think it's safer to use the default standard approach.

Checklist

• Documentation has been updated

For functional changes, consider:

• Is it observable through the addition of either logging or metrics?
• Is its use being published in telemetry to enable product improvement?
• Have system tests been added to avoid regression?
