    doc: FIPS provider is compatible with releases from 3.0 onwards

    State in fips_module(7) that a FIPS provider built from a validated
    version can be used with libcrypto and libssl from any supported
    release from OpenSSL 3.0 onwards, backward and forward, including
    future major release series, replacing the narrower wording that
    limited this to the same major release series.

    The downloads page reference in the same paragraph now points at
    https://openssl-library.org/source/, which www.openssl.org/source/
    redirects to.

    Aligns the documentation with the OpenSSL Library FIPS Module
    Support Policy.
