feat: add cosign signing for docker images in release pipeline

[Copilot]

Adds cryptographic signing and SBOM attestation to published Docker images using sigstore/cosign with keyless OIDC signing.

Changes

Release Pipeline (.github/workflows/release.yml):

• Added id-token: write permission for GitHub OIDC token generation
• Added cosign installation step (pinned to commit hash 59acb6260d9c0ba8f4a2f9d9b48431a222b68e20)
• Capture image digests from build steps for signing
• Sign both squid and agent images via cosign sign --yes
• Generate SBOMs using anchore/sbom-action (pinned to d94f46e13c6c62f59525ac9a1e147a99dc0b9bf5)
• Attest SBOMs with cosign attest --type spdxjson

Documentation:

• Created dedicated docs/image-verification.md with comprehensive verification instructions
• Added concise reference to image verification in README.md
• Simplified release template to include minimal verification example with link to full docs
• Emphasized package manager installation for cosign over direct downloads

Verification Example

cosign verify \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-firewall/.*' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  ghcr.io/githubnext/gh-aw-firewall/squid:latest

cosign verify-attestation \
  --type spdxjson \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-firewall/.*' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \
  ghcr.io/githubnext/gh-aw-firewall/squid:latest

All signatures are recorded in Sigstore's Rekor transparency log. GitHub Actions are pinned to commit hashes for supply chain security.

Original prompt

In the release pipeline can you add cosign signing for images that we publish?

remove all of those from README. README should be concise and all of these instrucitons should go to docs. @copilot
