[PATCH] Realview: name configuration options after actual board names

As no one seems to really know which configuration options tie up with
which boards, I thought I'd do some investigation and try to work it
out.  After discussion with some folk in linaro, I think I have this
nailed.

The names are updated to use the name on the front of the appropriate
board user guide for the various baseboards, which I've taken to be
the official name for each board.

I haven't significantly updated the descriptions for the tiles as that
is even less clear - as far as I can see on ARMs website, there is no
Cortex-A9 tile for Realview EB - only ARM11MPCore, ARM1156T2F-S,
ARM1176TZF-S and Cortex-R4F.  So exactly what this 'Multicore Cortex-A9
Tile' is...
