Fixes: #2165

The optimized same-revision checkout skipped signature verification when only the verification Secret or its key material changed, since the change predicate tracked the verification mode but not the trusted keys. This kept a stale SourceVerified=True after a key rotation or revocation.

Record a fingerprint of the verification public keys in status on success, and require a full checkout and re-verification when that fingerprint changes. The fingerprint depends only on key material, not the Secret name or data key names.

The optimized same-revision checkout returns a partial commit and, when
the content config and verification mode are unchanged, returns before
verifySignature. Since the verification policy was not part of the
decision, rotating spec.verify.secretRef or its key material kept an
existing SourceVerified=True condition for the new generation, allowing
a revoked signing key to remain trusted for the advertised artifact.

Record a fingerprint of the verification public keys in the status on
success, and require a full checkout and re-verification when the
fingerprint of the keys in the referenced Secret changes. The
fingerprint depends only on the key material, not on the Secret name or
the data key names.
