ci: enforce contributor sign-off (DCO/CLA) + checklist gates - #53

Conversation
- Add a `dco` CI job: on every PR, verify each non-merge commit in the PR carries a `Signed-off-by` line; fail with a fix hint if any is missing. Make it a required check in branch protection to block unsigned-off merges. - PR template: require signed AND signed-off commits (sign-off = DCO + CLA), and add a licensing gate — all data must be commercial-clean (no restricted/NonCommercial).

Makes the CLA/sign-off an actual check, not just an honor-system line — relevant now that more contributors are coming.
