Change the instructions in the INSTALLATION

comment block to set buffer-local variables like
dired-omit-files-p in dired-mode-hook.
(dired-omit-files-p): Make local to all buffers.
(dired-omit-files): Fix doc string (not buffer-local).
(dired-omit-startup): Don't need to make dired-omit-files-p
local to buffer here.
