sunxi: update README.sunxi64

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.

$ cd /src/arm-trusted-firmware

(adjust the actual path accordingly)
The platform target "sun50i_a64" covers all boards with either an Allwinner
A64 or H5 SoC (since they are very similar). For boards with an Allwinner H6
SoC use "sun50i_h6".
If you run into size issues with the resulting U-Boot image file, it might
help to use a release build, by using "DEBUG=0" when building bl31.bin.

As the FEL mode is controlled by the boot ROM, it expects to be running in
AArch32. For now the AArch64 SPL cannot properly return into FEL mode, so the
feature is disabled in the configuration at the moment.
The repository in [3] contains FEL capable SPL binaries, built using an
off-tree branch to generate 32-bit ARM code (along with instructions
how to re-create them).
