The status of the release needs to be kept, but it can no longer be a part of ./configure as that is being removed.

This is mostly relevant for release tarballs, but developer documentation doesn't get shipped in a release. However, installation instructions are still required. Therefore, make the INSTALL.md file part of the root of the project. Fixes #1194

This PR addresses the change to the infrastructure of fvwm3, removing autotools and asserting meson as the primary/only build-tool to use.
This hasn't been mandatory -- it's gone through an extensive consoltation period over many months to get to this point -- as individual commits will attest to.
In addition to this change though, there is a wider implication around changing the buildsystem fvwm3 uses to make use of meson.
In doing so, this change has also meant automating fvwm3's release, removing key persons as a bottle-neck to that.
