This release adds commit signing and validation support to the `rngit` system, as well as improvements to the blackhole functionality.

**Changes**
- Extended blackhole functionality to immediately terminate links from blackholed identities
- Added commit signing and validation to `rngit`
- Added commit hash inclusion in generated release manifest to `rngit`
- Added local `verify` operation shorthand to `rngit release`
- Added option to configure blackhole update interval
- Added configuration option to log without timestamps

**Verified Retrieval**
You can retrieve and verify this release over Reticulum using the built-in `rngit release` utility. To retrieve only the installation `.whl` package, and the release manifest for future updates, you can use:

```sh
rngit release rns://7649a50d84610232d1416b41d2896aff/reticulum/reticulum fetch "latest:rns-*.whl" --signer bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c
```

To download all artifacts, including the documentation and source archive, you can use the following command:

```sh
rngit release rns://7649a50d84610232d1416b41d2896aff/reticulum/reticulum fetch latest:all --signer bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c
```

**Release Signatures**
Release artifacts include a signed `rsm` release manifest and `rsg` signature files that can be validated against the RNS release signing identity `<bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c>` using `rngit` or `rnid`. To perform an offline verification of all release artifacts using a manifest:

```sh
rngit release rns_*.rsm verify --signer bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c
```

To verify release artifacts using individual `rsg` files, while also verifying the manifest itself, download the `rsm` and `rsg` signatures, make sure they are in the same folder as the release artifact, and run `rnid` signature verification with the release identity as the required signer:

```sh
rnid -i bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c -V rns_*.rsm *.rsg
```

The `rnid` utility will then verify the signatures, and display whether they are valid. If the signature cannot be verified, the release has been tampered with and should be discarded.
