* gpg.sgml: Document --sig-policy-url, --cert-policy-url, --sig-notation,
--cert-notation. Clarify --show-notation and --show-policy-url that policy URLs and notations can be used in data signatures as well. Add note about '@' being a required character in notation names.

Put the name value pair into the signature as notation data.
-&ParmName; must consist only of alphanumeric characters, digits
-or the underscore; the first character must not be a digit.
-&ParmValue; may be any printable string; it will be encoded in UTF8,

+&ParmName; must consist only of printable characters or spaces, and
+must contain a '@' character. This is to help prevent pollution of
+the IETF reserved notation namespace. The --expert flag overrides the
