please provide checksum files on Bitbucket

[jakoch]

Hey!

Please provide the SHA256 checksums for your releases as files on Bitbucket.
Additionally, please sign them.

This allows to automate download mirroring using Bitbucket as the primary trusted source.
(Given the the number of wild mirrors, because of Bitbucket it's already a bit late. Ref. #13953)
It also allows to build automated installers using downloads from mirrors, without the inconvenient need to grab the checksums from your readme and updating the checksums in the installers with every new release.

In case Bitbucket builds the checksums for uploaded files automatically and exposes them via an API endpoint, please point me to it and include the link in the checksum section of your readme.

Thank you in advance.
Best, Jens

If you have the checksum file handy, I'll be happy to place it right away on Bitbucket downloads.
As for the signing, please track it at #13019.

Thanks!

Due to our very limited maintenance capacity, we need to prioritize our development focus on other tasks. Therefore, this issue will be automatically closed (see #15395 for more details). In the future, if we see the need to attend to this issue again, then it will be reopened. Thank you for your contribution!
