Merge branch 'jc/push-cert' into maint

The "git push --signed" protocol extension did not limit what the
"nonce" that is a server-chosen string can contain or how long it
can be, which was unnecessarily lax.  Limit both the length and the
alphabet to a reasonably small space that can still have enough
entropy.

* jc/push-cert:
  push --signed: tighten what the receiving end can ask to sign
