Clarify that GnuPG may be used on both Linux and macOS to obtain the keys required to verify the commits.

GnuPG is platform-independent software, it's there for Linux, Windows, Solaris, BSDs, and so on and so on, even Android. How does adding specific platforms clarify here?

Edit: so probably best to remove mention of platforms instead of adding more.

Did a fixup. I do have one question. On my computers, I have GnuPG v1 and GnuPG v2 installed. Does anybody wish to clarify how to handle both versions (the same, I think, but I haven't tried it on v2)? I also don't know if there are systems with v2 only, and if they create some sort of link to allow gpg2 to be invoked as gpg.

This works as-is with both gpg v1 and gpg v2. Newer Ubuntu and Debian default to gpg v2 and have a link, I don't know about other distributions.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 jan 10 14:07 /usr/bin/gpg2 -> gpg
```
