Konstantin Ryabitsev f44a29784f Documentation: update maintainer-pgp-guide for latest best practices
Freshen up the maintainer PGP guide:

- Bump minimum GnuPG version requirement from 2.2 to 2.4, since 2.2 is
  no longer maintained
- All major hardware tokens now support Curve25519, so remove outdated
  ECC support callouts
- Update hardware device recommendations (Nitrokey Pro 2 -> Nitrokey 3)
- Broaden backup media terminology (USB thumb drive -> external media)
- Update wording to follow vale's linter recommendations
- Various minor wording improvements for clarity

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
