It is very common to have checksum (md5, sha256) and sig (gpg signatures) for downloads. PSF has no infrastructure to attach sigs and checksums to a fiile

Motivation

File downloads should be checksummed to have a way to validate a download. It is a common sign of beeing professional.

Proposal

* Add file upload field for signatures

* Add string field for sha256 and md5 check sum

* Add dummy files for sha and md5 checksums that list all files in a release with "checksum filename"
