  • extra options for sig file management:
    • list available sig files;
    • check if new files exist;
    • update automatically; and
    • download specific version;
  • 'versions.xml' now has update site field;
  • updated README.md with new signature update instructions; and
  • fixed minor markdown style issues.

Signatures now compiled and hosted on a web based update site:
- Site URL set in config.
- Docker based update web app to host and serve signature information.
- FIDO CLI arguments `-sigs check` and `-sigs update` control automatic signature updates.
This was implemented by:
- implementing a REST service for FIDO signatures in `fido.signatures`;
  + simple flask REST app that parses a static dir/file structure;
  + endpoint to list versions;
  + endpoint that identifies latest version;
  + endpoints to download sig file collateral by version and `latest` for signature updates;
  + added resources for legacy format and container signatures;
- adding simple REST client functionality to FIDO CLI:
  + `-sigs check` compares configured PRONOM sig version with REST latest and indicates if an update is required;
  + `-sigs update` pulls the latest version if the installed version is stale and updates the conf file as required;
- extra options for sig file management:
  - list available sig files;
  - check if new files exist;
  - update automatically; and
  - download specific version;
- 'versions.xml' now has update site field;
- updated `README.md` with new signature update instructions; and
- fixed minor markdown style issues.
