* gpg.sgml: Document --sig-policy-url, --cert-policy-url, --sig-notation, 

--cert-notation.  Clarify --show-notation and --show-policy-url that
policy URLs and notations can be used in data signatures as well.  Add
note about '@' being a required character in notation names.

Put the name value pair into the signature as notation data.
&ParmName; must consist only of alphanumeric characters, digits
or the underscore; the first character must not be a digit.
&ParmValue; may be any printable string; it will be encoded in UTF8,
so you should check that your --charset is set correctly.
If you prefix &ParmName; with an exclamation mark, the notation
data will be flagged as critical (rfc2440:5.2.3.15).
&ParmName; must consist only of printable characters or spaces, and
must contain a '@' character. This is to help prevent pollution of
the IETF reserved notation namespace. The --expert flag overrides the
'@' check. &ParmValue; may be any printable string; it will be
encoded in UTF8, so you should check that your --charset is set
correctly. If you prefix &ParmName; with an exclamation mark, the
notation data will be flagged as critical (rfc2440:5.2.3.15).
--sig-notation sets a notation for data signatures. --cert-notation
sets a notation for key signatures (certifications). --notation-data
sets both.
