The SHA256SUMS file can be used in a sha256sum -c command to verify
downloaded binaries. However users are likely to download just a single
file and not place this file in the correct directory relative to the
SHA256SUMS file for the simple verification command to work. By not
including the directory name in the SHA256SUMS file, it will be easier
for users to verify downloaded binaries.

guix-attest mistakenly added an extra \r to the line endings in
all.SHA256SUMS, causing guix-verify to erroneously fail.

That way we can easily combine the document and detached signature to
produce cleartext signature files for upload during the release process.
See subsequent commits which modify doc/release-process.md for more
details.
We already attest to the relevant dist-archive in inputs.SHA256SUMS,
which is recorded at build-time.
We use a SKIPATTEST.TAG file to indicate output directories which do not
require attestation (much like the CACHEDIR.TAG specification).
Generally, it's better to have build scripts declare properties of
directories instead of introducing name-based special cases in attest
scripts since build scripts have a more detailed context of what is
going on.
At build/codesigning-time, hash build inputs and output the digest to
${OUTDIR}/inputs.SHA256SUMS, which gets included in the final SHA256SUMS
constructed by guix-attest.
Example final SHA256SUMS:
