Bumps the AltSign submodule to SideStore/AltSign#13, which makes unzipArchiveAtURL: fall back to 0644 when a ZIP entry carries no Unix mode bits (as produced by Windows zip tooling). Previously these entries extracted with mode 0000 and failed during signing with a "You don't have permission" error. Fixes SideStore#447

Summary
Bumps the
AltSignsubmodule to pick up SideStore/AltSign#13 (now merged), which fixes the "You don't have permission" error when installing IPAs that were zipped on Windows.Background
IPAs created with Windows zip tooling store NTFS file attributes in the ZIP
external_fafield and leave the Unix mode bits (the high 16 bits) unset. AltSign'sunzipArchiveAtURL:derived a permission of0from those entries and applied it withsetAttributes:, so the extracted files ended up with mode0000. The reads performed while signing then failed, surfacing to users as "You don't have permission."The merged AltSign change falls back to
0644when no Unix mode bits are present, so these archives extract with readable files. IPAs produced by Xcode (which carry valid Unix permissions) are unaffected.Changes
