Fix Foundation FVP instructions in User Guide



The Arm Trusted Firmware is built by default for ARMv8-A version 8.0.
However, the Foundation FVP runs by default in the highest version of
the architecture it supports. This causes problems when trying to run
the Arm Trusted Firmware on it.

This patch adds a note to the User Guide about this problem.

- In order for the Arm Trusted Firmware to run correctly on the Foundation
Model the architecture versions must match. The Foundation FVP defaults to
the highest v8.x version it supports but the default build for Arm Trusted
Firmware is for v8.0. To avoid issues either start the Foundation Model to
use v8.0 architecture using the ``--arm-v8.0`` option or build Arm Trusted
Firmware with an appropriate value for ``ARM_ARCH_MINOR``.
