13bb419938 boot/grub2: update readme.txt details
For the Qemu-compatible UEFI firmware, the kraxel.org pointed to by
the readme.txt file is outdated. Instead, instruct users to use EDK2.
either by building it from source, or by grabbing pre-built ones, or
from their distributions.

While at it, drop the pci=nocrs information, as it is no longer
needed.

9112389a1b grub2: add usage notes for grub2 arm and aarch64
Add notes to test grub2 running on ARM using qemu. The arm section
describes how to run it using u-boot and aarch64 shows how to do it
using efi, which is similar to what has to be done for x86_64.

The source for OVMF builds is also changed to
https://www.kraxel.org/repos/jenkins/edk2/ which is the source for
nightly builds (as rpms but which can be extracted in any distribution),
as the sourceforge link provided only very old builds.

[Thomas:
 - formatting fixes
 - simplify the AArch64/EFI example by using the aarch64_efi_defconfig]

0802ede021 grub2: move usage notes to package readme.txt
As discussed in the mailing list, grub2 usage notes were growing too big
for a Config.in documentation, and so it was agreed that a readme.txt in
the package directory is a better place to put them.

This commit simply moves the documentation as-is to preserve the
original contents as they were in Config.in which can be worked on in
further commits.
