From: Bin Meng <bin.meng at windriver.com>
U-Boot v2020.07 release adds SPL support to SiFive HiFive Unleashed.
Update the doc to mention that detailed build instructions are in the
U-Boot doc.
This also adds detailed command line description to show how to boot
U-Boot v2020.07 S-mode payload in the QEMU chapter.

When U-Boot v2020.01 (or higher) is used as the payload, as the SiFive FU540

While the real hardware operates at the 64-bit mode, it's possible for QEMU to
test the 32-bit OpenSBI firmware. This can be helpful for testing 32-bit SiFive
specific drivers.
