README-FIPS: document the installation of the FIPS provider
Note that configuration and installation procedure has changed: - The FIPS provider is now disabled by default and needs to be enabled by configuring with `enable-fips`. - If the FIPS provider is enabled, it gets installed automatically. There is no extra installation step required anymore. This is more natural and coincides with the expectation of the user, namely "what's configured, gets installed".
