SQSCANGHA-140 Implement OpenPGP signature verification for scanner downloads

Add GPG signature verification to ensure downloaded Sonar Scanner CLI binaries
are authentic and haven't been tampered with. This implements supply chain
security by verifying signatures against SonarSource's public key.

Changes:
- Add gpg-verification.js module with signature verification logic
- Download and verify .asc signature files alongside scanner ZIPs
- Import SonarSource public key from keyserver.ubuntu.com
- Add skipSignatureVerification input parameter (default: false)
- Add @actions/exec dependency for cross-platform GPG execution
- Add comprehensive unit tests for verification functions
- Update dist with bundled changes

Verification is enabled by default and uses an isolated temporary GPG home
directory to avoid polluting user's keyring. All temporary files are cleaned
up properly, even on errors.
