Allwinner sun50i SoCs contain an OpenRISC 1000 CPU that functions as a
System Control Processor, or SCP. ARM Trusted Firmware (ATF)
communicates with the SCP over SCPI to implement the PSCI system
suspend, shutdown and reset functionality. Currently, SCP firmware is
optional; the system will boot and run without it, but system suspend
will be unavailable.
Since all communication with the SCP is mediated by ATF, the only thing
U-Boot needs to do is load the firmware into SRAM. The SCP firmware
occupies the last 16KiB of SRAM A2, immediately following ATF.

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.

As we are running into issues where the final U-Boot FIT image file is
exceeding our size limit, add a hint to the README.sunxi64 file
to point out the possibility of building non-debug versions of the ATF
binary. These are about 12KB smaller than the standard debug build, and
so allow successful U-Boot builds for many boards with the Allwinner H5
SoC.
Please note that under normal circumstances the debug build is still
recommended, as it gives valuable clues in case something goes wrong in
the ATF.

In README.sunxi64 we tell the user how to optionally create
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin by manually running cat. Instead, have the
build system create the file automatically just like it does for 32-bit
sunxi boards.

With the DRAM init code and the SPL's ability to load the ATF binary as
well, we can now officially get rid of the boot0 boot method, which
involed a closed-source proprietary blob to be used.
Rework the Pine64 README file to document how to build the firmware.
Also since these instructions now cover more boards, rename the
file to README.sunxi64 to reflect this.
