  • minisign-signed files means 'signify -C' doesn't work anymore, so
    remove that guidance; we can still use 'sha256 -C' if available,
    though
  • minisign workaround didn't work, and isn't necessary any more

from the manpage, sha256sum supports BSD style checksum and directly sha256sum -c --ignore-missing sha256sum.txt can be used.
