ci: drop pre-cosign-v3 goreleaser versions from tests (#554)

GoReleaser v2.13.0 was the first release to ship the cosign v3
sigstore-bundle 'checksums.txt.sigstore.json' alongside the archive.
Earlier releases only publish a cosign v2 detached '.sig', which the
action's verifier does not understand and silently skips.

Drop '~> 1.26' / '~> 2.6' / 'v0.182.0' / '~> v1' from the matrix and
the install tests; pin '~> 2.13' as the minimum-supported version we
actively exercise in CI. Document v2.13.0 as the minimum cosign-
verifiable version in the README.
