PrmPkg: Add details on AArch64 build to the Readme.
Specify how to build the PrmPkg for the AArch64 architecture.
Make the 2 following notes:
- the PrmPkg has only been tested on AArch64 using the GCC5
toolchain.
- All symbols to be listed in the PRMT as well as the
PrmModuleExportDescriptor must be explicitly preserved by resorting to
the --require-defined linker flag.
