Add default configuration for the AArch64 Foundation V8 simulator
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.
[Peter: fix readme typo]
