Bin Meng 8853758268 docs: platform: Update descriptions for qemu/sifive_u support
With QEMU v4.2 release that has improved the emulation fidelity
of 'sifive_u' machine, OpenSBI v0.4 / U-Boot v2019.10-rc1 / Linux
kernel v5.3-rc2 images built for the SiFive HiFive Unleashed board
can be used out of the box without any special hack.

Update our documents to mention 'qemu/sifive_u' platform should
only be used with QEMU v4.1 or before, and it will be dropped
sometime in the future release.

Going forward, 'sifive/fu540' platform can be used on both real
hardware and QEMU v4.2+ 'sifive_u' machine.

QEMU SiFive Unleashed Machine Platform
======================================
The **QEMU SiFive Unleashed Machine** is an emulation of the SiFive Unleashed
platform.
To build this platform specific library and firmwares, provide the
*PLATFORM=qemu/sifive_u* parameter to the top level `make` command line.
Note with QEMU v4.2 release, the QEMU *sifive_u* machine has been updated to
closely match the SiFive HiFive Unleashed hardware and can therefore run the
same firmware as what gets loaded onto the board, and OpenSBI's *qemu/sifive_u*
platform should only be used with QEMU v4.1 release or before.
The special *qemu/sifive_u* platform support will be dropped in the future
OpenSBI release.
Platform Options
----------------
The *QEMU SiFive Unleashed Machine* platform does not have any platform specific
options.
Executing on QEMU RISC-V 64-bit
-------------------------------
**No Payload Case**
Build:
```
make PLATFORM=qemu/sifive_u
```
Run:
```
qemu-system-riscv64 -M sifive_u -m 256M -display none -serial stdio \
-kernel build/platform/qemu/sifive_u/firmware/fw_payload.elf
```
**U-Boot as a Payload**
Note: the command line examples here assume that U-Boot was compiled using
the `sifive_fu540_defconfig` configuration.
Build:
```
make PLATFORM=qemu/sifive_u FW_PAYLOAD_PATH=<uboot_build_directory>/u-boot.bin
```
Run:
```
qemu-system-riscv64 -M sifive_u -m 256M -display none -serial stdio \
-kernel build/platform/qemu/sifive_u/firmware/fw_payload.elf
```
or
```
qemu-system-riscv64 -M sifive_u -m 256M -display none -serial stdio \
-kernel build/platform/qemu/sifive_u/firmware/fw_jump.elf \
-device loader,file=<uboot_build_directory>/u-boot.bin,addr=0x80200000
```
