commit 34d76b805ef974825b5b69e036fcc0835679fc72

    README: add instructions for missing INSTALL file
    
    The file INSTALL has been dropped in 2009 with [1] and it has been
    replaced by the INSTALL file generated by automake.
    The file INSTALL is only present in official releases of OpenOCD
    and not in the code cloned from git.
    
    Add a note in README to report this inconsistency.

            --gnu mode, not --foreign. Remove INSTALL file; automake
            generates a copy of the latest version.")
