In some environments (most notably embedded systems and small production servers), it is often desirable to have stripped Git binaries due to tight disk space constraint.
Until now stripped Git can be built wih `make strip install`. Add INSTALL_STRIP make variable so that they can install stripped Git binaries with `make INSTALL_STRIP=yes install`.
Also document stripping and using INSTALL_STRIP in INSTALL.

- install target depends on strip when INSTALL_STRIP is defined
