Accounts are intended to be used for when working on products that belong to different organizations. This way multiple keys related to Sparkle can be stored in the keychain.
We also add a --verify option to sign_update which allows verifying that updates are signed correctly.

Testing
I tested and verified my change by using one or multiple of these methods:
Tested that keys can be generated and signed under a new account name (differing from default ed25519 one). Tested that generate_appcast can use different accounts and verified the results with sign_update --verify. Tested sign_update --verify on several update files, using different accounts, truncating the base64 provided signature (results in an error), or using a different signature (results in failing to pass verification).
macOS version tested: 12.1 (21C52)
