Clarify that settings.php is set to RO on install [#105368]

Sepeck brought up in #drupal that it can be disconcerting to find out later that drupal has transparently changed settings.php to read-only. This patch adds a notification of the read-only change to the post-install page; Steven also helped with the text of the message.

I'll confirm that it is very disconcerting to find out that this file is write-protected. The message looks OK to me except that I'd also add a message at the top of the settings.php file itself that says that the file is write-protected for security, and that it is OK to make changes to it but it should be immediately re-protected. That is because the person who runs the install might not be the same as the person who later tries to edit the file (or they might be the same person but have forgotten about the warning).
