[PATCH] make: add install-strip target

From: Bagas Sanjaya <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-17 11:09:00
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

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.
