Fintan Halpenny d3bc868e84 radicle/sigrefs: Rewrite Signed References
Split up signed references into its read and write components.

On the write side:
 - Preserve the old behavior of writing references to the blob `/refs`
   and sign over the blob.
 - Ensure `refs/rad/root` is contained in the `/refs` blob.
 - Ensure `refs/rad/sigrefs` is *not* contained in the `/refs` blob.
 - Introduce a new (internal) reference `refs/rad/sigrefs-parent`
   so that no two `/refs` blob are equal, even if they contain
   the same set of (non-internal) refs.

On the read side:
 - Preserve the verification of the signature in `/signature` and
   the reference `refs/rad/root` (if present).
 - Fail verification of `refs/rad/root` is not present.
 - Protect against replay attacks by walking the history of the
   head of `refs/rad/sigrefs`, skipping interpretation of `/refs`
   blobs in case they are identical to a previous `/refs` blob.
   This is achieved by searching for repeated contents of the
   `/signature` blob.

The reference `refs/rad/sigrefs-parent` is never read from or written to
the Git repository in storage.

The pre-existing implementation of signed references did not include
a nonce, thus duplicate but legitimate sets of references could not
be distinguished from maliciously replayed sets of references.

The new implementation uses `radicle-git-metadata` which is moved from
`dev-dependencies` to `dependencies`.
