Use a subsection heading for Signed commits.

Signed commits must use === to remain inside Contributing to Tree Navigator. With ==, AsciiDoc renders it as a sibling top-level section.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Review comment at @CONTRIBUTING.adoc at line 94:
Change the Signed commits heading from a top-level section to a subsection so it
remains inside Contributing to Tree Navigator.

Every commit that reaches the default branch must be signed; a ruleset refuses
unsigned pushes. Estate policy:
https://github.com/hyperpolymath/standards/blob/main/docs/SIGNING-POLICY.adoc[SIGNING-POLICY].

* **People and interactive agents** sign with an SSH key registered on GitHub
as a *signing* key (`gpg.format=ssh`, `user.signingkey=<key>.pub`,
`commit.gpgsign=true`). The committer email must be verified on that account.
* **Apps, bots and workflows** never `git push` local commits. They write
through the API (`createCommitOnBranch` or the estate `signed-push` action)
so that GitHub signs each commit.
* Merge PRs with **squash**. The ruleset checks every commit on the PR branch,
not just the result, so one unsigned commit blocks the merge. Re-create such a
branch with signed commits (`git cherry-pick -S`) and open a new PR.
Rebase-merge replays commits unsigned and is disabled.
