Docs: Update user guide for Dynamic Config on FVP 

From TF-A v1.5, FVP supports loading the kernel FDT through
firmware as part of dynamic configuration feature. This means
that the FDT no longer needs to be loaded via Model parameters.
This patch updates the user guide to reflect the same.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Depending on the FVP configuration and Linux configuration used, different
FDT files are required. FDTs for the Foundation and Base FVPs can be found in
the TF-A source directory under ``fdts/``. The Foundation FVP has a subset of
the Base FVP components. For example, the Foundation FVP lacks CLCD and MMC
support, and has only one CPU cluster.

Note: It is not recommended to use the FDTs built along the kernel because not
all FDTs are available from there.
- ``fvp-base-gicv2-psci.dtb``
The dynamic configuration capability is enabled in the firmware for FVPs.
This means that the firmware can authenticate and load the FDT if present in
FIP. A default FDT is packaged into FIP during the build based on
the build configuration. This can be overridden by using the ``FVP_HW_CONFIG``
or ``FVP_HW_CONFIG_DTS`` build options (refer to the
`Arm FVP platform specific build options`_ section for detail on the options).
