posts: Clarify that signatures can also be obtained via cgit
Commit 751da2c (posts: Update posts to reflect usage of cgit's signature
mechanism, 2021-05-06) updated the project pages as well as "Verifying
snapshots with signify" with information regarding the new cgit
signature mechanism, but neglected to mention that signatures can be
obtained directly through git.oriole.systems as well (the project pages
merely deeplink to that).
Furthermore, with commit 28c2473 (posts: Add a new post: "Hosting
signify signatures on cgit", 2021-05-16) we now have an explanatory
piece which we can link if people are interested in the underlying
infrastructure.
