README: AArch64: Improve getting started section

Browse Source 
Current `Getting Started` section only contains steps for the x86_64
platform, as we have a documentation doing the same thing for AArch64,
we can point users to the correct documentation.

Also, this commit modifies the `docs/arm64.md` to fit the documentation
style within the project.

# 2. Getting Started
Below sections describe how to build and run Cloud Hypervisor on the `x86_64`
platform. For getting started on the `AArch64` platform, please refer to the
[Arm64 documentation](docs/arm64.md).
## Preparation
We create a folder to build and run `cloud-hypervisor` at `$HOME/cloud-hypervisor`

# How to build and test Cloud Hypervisor on AArch64
This document introduces how to build and test Cloud Hypervisor on AArch64 servers. Currently Cloud Hypervisor cannot be tested on Raspberry PI. Because on AArch64, Cloud Hypervisor requires GICv3-ITS device for PCIe MSI interrupt handling. But GICv3-ITS has not been equipped on any Raspberry PI product so far.

## Direct-kernel booting
Alternativelly, you can build your own kernel for guest VM. This way, UEFI is not involved and ACPI cannot be enabled.
