[PATCH v3] make: add INSTALL_STRIP option variable

From: Bagas Sanjaya <bagasdotme@gmail.com>
Date: Sep 2, 2021, 12:11 UTC
Message-ID: <20210902121104.14778-1-bagasdotme@gmail.com>

From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Add $(INSTALL_STRIP), which allows passing stripping options to $(INSTALL).

For this to work, installing executables must be split to installing compiled binaries and scripts portions, since $(INSTALL_STRIP) is only meaningful to the former.

Users can set this variable depending on their system. For example, Linux users can use `-s --strip-program=strip`, while FreeBSD users can simply set to `-s` and choose strip program with $STRIPBIN.

 Changes from v3 [1]:
   - Squash suggestion patch from Junio, which suggests dropping
     install-stripped target and rename $(INSTALL_OPTS) to
     $(INSTALL_STRIP).
   - Describe $(INSTALL_STRIP) usage on the top of Makefile

 Note: In the future, we may add global $(INSTALL_OPTS), which applies
 to both compiled binaries and scripts. When such happens, we should
 rename $(INSTALL_STRIP) to $(INSTALL_STRIP_OPTS).
