INSTALL: remove discussion of SHA-1 backends

Browse Source 
The claim that OpenSSL is the default SHA-1 backend hasn't been true
since e6b07da278 (Makefile: make DC_SHA1 the default, 2017-03-17),
but more importantly tweaking the SHA-1 backend isn't something that's
common enough to warrant discussing in the INSTALL document, so let's
remove this paragraph.

This discussion was originally added in c538d2d34a (Add some

backend was more common. The current wording was added in
5beb577db8 (INSTALL: Describe dependency knobs from Makefile,
2009-09-10).

you are using libcurl older than 7.34.0. Otherwise you can use
NO_OPENSSL without losing git-imap-send.
By default, git uses OpenSSL for SHA1 but it will use its own
library (inspired by Mozilla's) with either NO_OPENSSL or
BLK_SHA1.
- "libcurl" library is used for fetching and pushing
repositories over http:// or https://, as well as by
git-imap-send if the curl version is >= 7.34.0. If you do
