If signing is enabled, the Publish job should verify the signatures of images before copying them to the publish repo prefix. This would prevent accidental publishing of unsigned images or publishing invalid signatures.

Currently, the ImageBuilder notation trust policy does not include a TSA trust store: docker-tools/src/notation-trust/policies/supplychain.json Line 8 in a221025 "trustStores": ["ca:supplychain"], The .NET image signatures include a timestamp countersignature, and the dotnet-docker verification documentation shows configuring both a ca and tsa trust store: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/blob/3946d34b71eda376aaeae2e39bf72b6ba3435b5f/documentation/image-signatures.md#L73-L88 We should add the TSA root certificate and reference a tsa trust store in the notation trust policy so that ImageBuilder's signature verification validates the timestamp countersignature.

The --dry-run global CLI option is inconsistent. There are two use cases I'm thinking about: As a container image maintainer, I want to be able to run things like the ACR cleanup pipeline in dry-run mode, against production data, with full authentication -- so that I can be sure what action will be taken before anything is deleted. This is "no side effects mode". As the maintainer of ImageBuilder, I want to have some commands run in public PR validation without authentication to make sure that a pull request hasn't broken our pipelines. This is "no permissions mode" Both are valid but distinct scenarios. Having both contained under the --dry-run flag is inconsistent. I propose that --dry-run should just be #1 or we should change this functionality to be enum-based.
