packaging: ship fips.yaml as an example, not a dpkg conf-file

Installing /etc/fips/fips.yaml as a live dpkg conf-file collides with a
configuration-management-rendered or operator-edited config on upgrade:
dpkg either prompts interactively (keep/replace), stalling unattended
upgrades, or clobbers the local file. Ship the default config as
/usr/share/doc/fips/fips.yaml.example (mode 644) and drop it from
conf-files. postinst now seeds /etc/fips/fips.yaml from the example only
when it does not already exist (mode 600), yielding to any existing
config without a prompt or clobber. Add ConditionPathExists for the
config to the service unit so a missing config skips the unit cleanly
rather than crash-looping.
