Previously to install Git with stripped binaries, users have to do `make
all` then `make strip` before doing `make install`. It is nice to have
`install-strip` target for convenience, so that they can simply type
`make install-strip` and have Git with stripped binaries installed.
On some environments where disk space and resources is limited (such as
embedded systems), installed size can be smaller that with non-stripped
binaries.
Also mention the target in INSTALL.
