Now that the Allwinner port in the official mainline ARM Trusted Firmware repository has reached feature parity with the "legacy" ATF port, let's use the opportunity to update the Allwinner 64-bit build instructions. This changes: - Update ATF build instructions to use the mainline repo. - Add quick command lines for TL;DR people. - Mention Allwinner H6 build target. - Mention pre-built FEL binaries.
