  -----------
  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.
