Variables SIGGEN_LOCKEDSIGS, SIGGEN_LOCKEDSIGS_TASKSIG_CHECK and
SIGGEN_LOCKEDSIGS_TYPES are used to lock specific tasks to specific
signatures. They are used by bitbake -S <lockedsigs> and bblock, so add
documentation for them.

To avoid repeating "signature" here, what about:

"""
You can obtain the signature of all the tasks for the recipe ``bc`` using::

Nit but the quotes here are different from the ones above (“” != "").
