The internal synchronisation timings of the FVP model version
11.0 build 11.0.34 and version 8.5 build 0.8.5202 has been
changed compared to older version of the models.

This change may have an impact on how the model behaves depending
on the workload being run on the model. For example test failures
have been seen where the primary core has powered on a secondary
core but was then starved of host CPU time and so was not able to
update power status, resulting a test failure due to an incorrect
status. This, or similar behaviour, is not to be expected from
real hardware platforms.

This patch adds a usage note on how to launch these models so
that internal synchronisation timing matches that of the older
version of the models, specifically adding the -Q 100 option.
