fix(packages): verify signatures as allow-unsigned, keep GNU keys fresh
package-check-signature was nil, skipping verification everywhere. allow-unsigned verifies signatures when an archive provides them while still accepting the unsigned local mirror and .localrepo packages. gnu-elpa-keyring-update installs at bootstrap (non-fatal on failure) so an expired GNU archive key stops being a reason to turn verification off.
