Re: [staging/cadence-aarch64] Add readme for cadence-aarch64 branch

[Leif Lindholm <leif.lindholm@linaro.org>]

Hi Scott, thanks for this. Looking forward to seeing it.

Andrew, Mike - for what it's worth, I'm happy to do the mechanics here
unless there are any objections.

Oh, and it's usually a good idea to cc maintainers of existing
packages you intend to work on. For MdeModulePkg, this is
 Feng Tian <feng.tian@intel.com>
 Star Zeng <star.zeng@intel.com> (from Maintainers.txt),
and if creating any new packages (as you are), probably cc the
stewards as well (we don't always spot all emails that hit the list)
 Andrew Fish <afish@apple.com>
 Michael D Kinney <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>
 myself.

Yes, we could do with adding this to the edk2-staging master branch
README.

Best Regards,

Leif
