fips140: aligned code with documentationtmp-fix-fips-mode

That is, we introduce the documented but unimplemented macros
GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_LAX_MODE() and GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_STRICT_MODE().

+The intention of this API is to be used by applications which may run in
 FIPS140-2 mode, while they utilize few algorithms not in the allowed set,
 e.g., for non-security related purposes. In these cases applications should
 wrap the non-compliant code within blocks like the following.
 
 @example

 Applications could also switch FIPS140-2 mode explicitly off, by calling
 @example
-gnutls_fips140_set_mode(GNUTLS_FIPS140_SET_MODE_LAX, 0);
+gnutls_fips140_set_mode(GNUTLS_FIPS140_LAX, 0);
