Currently, there is no easy way to verify push certificates. They have
the same structure as signed tags: "attached detached signatures", that
is: the concatenation of the signed material and its detached signature.
Introduce a `--blob` option to verify-tag so that it allows to verify
tags and blobs.

The first outcome of my long announced project to describe our signature
formats in Documentation/technical.... (progress underway)
In fact, that whole area is in need of refactoring: gpg related bits are
all over the place, including tag.c. The proposed patch neither improves
nor worsens the situation in that respect. But, since we make it
unnecessarily hard to verify signatures (git cat-file | gpg --verify fails)
it's only fair to provide a tool for pre-receive hook writers.
