Adds Google Trust Services (pki.goog) root CAs to the certificate pinning documentation.

Why

Sentry is deploying the US2 region using GCP-managed TLS certificates. GCP can issue certs from either letsencrypt.org or pki.goog. The GTS roots were missing from our pinning docs, which could break customers who pin certificates and end up being served a pki.goog cert.

All four GTS root CAs (R1–R4, covering both RSA and EC) are included. Fingerprints verified directly from the live https://pki.goog/roots.pem bundle via openssl.

Also updates the introductory sentence in the Certificate Pinning section to mention Google Trust Services alongside Digicert and Let's Encrypt.

GlobalSign ECC Root CA - R4 is not included.
GlobalSign ECC Root CA - R4 shows up in pki.goog/roots.pem because that bundle contains every root GTS has a trust relationship with — 20 certs total, including GlobalSign, DigiCert, GoDaddy, COMODO, USERTrust, etc. It's not a root GTS issues from.

GCP-managed certificates chain to GTS Root R1–R4 only (R1/R2 for RSA, R3/R4 for EC). GlobalSign R4 was historically used for cross-signing GTS intermediates for broader device compatibility, but modern GTS-issued certs go straight to their own roots.
