Align the signing policy values.

CONTRIBUTING.adoc requires signed commits, but .machine_readable/contractiles/trust/Trustfile.a2ml declares signing-policy = "commit-signing-preferred". Define which value is normative and update the other source. If signing is mandatory, replace the Trustfile value with its schema-defined required value. If the Trustfile value is advisory or stale, mark or remove it accordingly.

Review comment at @CONTRIBUTING.adoc around lines 113 - 114:
Align the signing requirement in CONTRIBUTING.adoc with the signing-policy value
in Trustfile.a2ml: establish which source is normative, then update the other so
both express the same policy. If signing is mandatory, use the schema-defined
required value in Trustfile.a2ml; if its value is advisory or stale, mark or
remove it accordingly.

* **People and interactive agents** sign with an SSH key registered on GitHub
as a *signing* key (`gpg.format=ssh`, `user.signingkey=<key>.pub`,
`commit.gpgsign=true`). The committer email must be verified on that account.
* **Apps, bots and workflows** never `git push` local commits. They write
through the API (`createCommitOnBranch` or the estate `signed-push` action)
so that GitHub signs each commit.
* Merge PRs with **squash**. The ruleset checks every commit on the PR branch,
not just the result, so one unsigned commit blocks the merge. Re-create such a
branch with signed commits (`git cherry-pick -S`) and open a new PR.
Rebase-merge replays commits unsigned and is disabled.
