Documentation: openrisc: Updates to README
Update the OpenRISC readme to provide some more up-to-date information
on how to get started with OpenRISC. This includes:
- remove references to southpole who no longer are consulting for
OpenRISC (confirmed with Jonas)
- suggested QEMU instead of the old or1ksim as QEMU is well supported
- include instructions on how to get an FPGA board running
