"gpgSign" instead of "gpgsign" for both invocations: (a) avoids confusion, (b) matches use of camel case as in Git documentation.

Why:

The invocation git config --global x true spells the string x in two different ways. The case is probably not important but to maintain parity with Git documentation the suffix of x should use camel case: gpgSign. Also, having two versions of the same suffix in the same block of text may confuse readers.

Closes: NA

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Text formatting of this "reusable text block," located at data/reusables/gpg/set-auto-sign.md, specifying a git invocation that sets Git's global configuration to enable automatic commit-signing, is being changed.

@kakkeshyor Thanks for opening a PR! This is a small change and I don't think the case matters, but I should point out that all the documentation I can find on the site writes it as gpgsign, so if your goal is consistency and avoiding user confusion, I don't think this will achieve either of those.
