This covers the bulk of the information originally present in
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/ArmPlatformPkg-AArch64
regarding building and running the Foundation/Base FVP Platforms.

The sections on fetching source have been delegated to the root Readme.md

I'm going to push this patch because I really don't want to get to v8.
A few comments below.

Dropping above two lines which make assumptions that may not apply for everyone.

Above line makes the 'file' command call this an "exported SGML
document". So I'm dropping this too.

So, this patch adds a Platform/ARM/Readme.md (which is great), but it
deletes the only mention of all platforms other than Sgi (which is
less so).
Please address in a new patch.

You and me both, thanks though, hopefully it moves us forward a bit
by updating the docs.

Ah ... yes, I see. Apologies! Will fix ASAP, I have some (currently) non
public stuff to work on but will address this as soon as I get a chance
