doc: Make --check-sigs more prominent.
-- It seems people are using --list-sigs instead of --check-sigs and do not realize that the signatures are not checked at all. We better highlight the use of --check-sigs to avoid this UI problem. Suggested-by: Andrew Gallagher Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
