Enforce real timeouts on gpg subprocess calls (closes #62)

Every gpg run now has a one-minute deadline (gpgTimeout) on top of its
caller's context and is killed when either ends. A timeout is reported
as "gpg timed out" under the failing operation instead of "signal:
killed". Builder.Build and Checker.ExtractEmbeddedSigningKeyFP take a
context, so ToManifest's context now reaches signing and the
contextcheck suppression calling signing non-cancellable is gone.
Manifest loading takes no context, so its signature check is bounded by
the timeout alone. Killing gpg itself is enough: the gpg-agent it starts
runs detached and holds none of its output.
