It is possible to install the FIPS validated OpenSSL cryptographic module to a custom location, without violating the requirement for calling ./configure without custom arguments.

As per the OpenSSL User Guide, it is possible to use the FIPSDIR environment variable to specify a custom install path for the validated cryptographic module.

cc @nodejs/crypto I would like to have one more LGTM on this, just to be sure

LGTM.
/.config is a shell script and used only for building on Unix systems and ms/do_fips.bat is on Windows. But building FIPS on Windows is a different issue so let it as is.
