Compare --require-signature with the key that signed (closes #167)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

check and fetch --require-signature compared the required fingerprint
with the first key in the manifest's embedded public key block, while
gpg accepted a good signature by any key in that block.

Loading a signed manifest now refuses one whose embedded block holds
more than one primary key, counted as gpg reads the block, or whose
signer field is not the primary key fingerprint gpg reports for the
signature. --require-signature compares with the signer field, which
loading has checked. Signing names and embeds the key gpg reports it
signed with, so a key ID matching several keys still writes a manifest
that loads. docs/FORMAT.md states what a verifier checks.
