merge/pull: verify GPG signatures of commits being merged

When --verify-signatures is specified on the command-line of git-merge or git-pull, check whether the commits being merged have good gpg signatures and abort the merge in case they do not. This allows e.g. auto-deployment from untrusted repo hosts. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Götte <jaseg@physik-pool.tu-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
