The arm_foundationv8_defconfig currently doesn't build because it uses
an external AArch64 toolchain that has been updated (Linaro toolchain)
and is now based on gcc 5.x. Unfortunately, Linux 3.13 is too old to
be built with gcc 5.x.
As a minimal fix to make this defconfig build again, we switch to use
the internal toolchain backend. At the time this defconfig was
introduced, there was no support for AArch64 in the internal toolchain
backend, but now that it is available, there is no reason to not use
it. This makes the defconfig also more consistent with the other
defconfigs.
Obviously, the kernel headers used to build the toolchain are set to
the fixed version 3.13, so that they match the kernel being used.
While we're at it, the readme.txt file corresponding to this defconfig
is updated. Runtime testing has been performed with the latest version
of the ARM Foundation model.

This commit updates the defconfig of the foundation-v8 platform, which
can be tested under the AArch64 emulator provided by ARM. The main
change is that we switch to the mainline 3.13.6 kernel instead of a
Linaro-specific Git tree.
Another change is to update the download link for the emulator in the
instructions, in order to use the latest version of the emulator,
which was used for testing.

Note that this configuration doesn't build entirely: the user must
manually run "make busybox-menuconfig" and disable the "Mount NFS
filesystems" option, because the toolchain does not have RPC support.
This issue will be fixed once the support for toolchain without RPC
will be integrated.
