Eliminate a failure path for Sigstore and show softcoded verify path

DarwinJS requested to merge DarwinJS-eliminate-cosign-failure-path-docs into master

What does this MR do and why?

The example code for cosign verify contains a double forward slash in the path - which looks like an error to the average eye.

Since the input path to cosign is completely hidden by the built-in GitLab support for cosign, the user does not have the source to see that the double forward slash is both expected and required to get a valid verification.

Additionally, since the source path is not visible, an example of a softcoded verify path is also not known.

This MR:

  • makes a special note that the double forward slash is expected and required.
  • makes note of the error that results when a single slash is used.
  • shows an example of a softcoded path for cosign verify
