Signing SBOMs in workflows

[lefosg]

To provide transparency in the supply chain of the release, cosign (a client for Sigstore) is used to sign the SBOM. It is now common to provide signed artifacts and later on, before deployment, verify the SBOM's signature. This ensures integrity and authenticity (the SBOM has not been tampered with and, only authorized entities - the GitHub runner - produces/signs the SBOM)

Changes

Added two steps in the auto-release.yml, right after generating the SBOM, before commiting the changes.

It is easy to reproduce locally. Install cosign. Download the release. Run the two commands added in the attest sbom step. The first command (cosign sign-blob) should produce two files. As a sanity check, the second command verifies the signature, plus that the entity that signed is indeed the GitHub runner.
