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.
