Improve the Readme.md in Platform/Ampere:
Direct people to the top-level Readme.md file for build instructions.
Mention the edk2-ampere-tools repo for additional build tools.
Delete everything else, since it's redundant.

-This document provides the guideline to build UEFI firmware for Ampere
Computing's Arm64 reference platforms.
-
-Platform code is located under Platform/Ampere/{Platform Name}Pkg.
-
-Silicon code is located under Silicon/Ampere/Ampere{SoC Name}Pkg.

-# Build machines
-
-- x86 Linux host machines running latest Ubuntu or CentOS releases.
-- Arm64 Linux host machines if native compiling. This has been tested on
Ampere's eMAG and Altra hardware platforms with latest AArch64 CentOS or Ubuntu
releases.

Please follow top-level Readme.md for build instructions.
## Additional build tools
Ampere provides additional tools and documentation for automating the manual
process described as described in the top-level README.md,
-and for building a final Tianocore UEFI image that can be flashed onto the
target system.

target system.
To use these tools, clone the following to the **WORKSPACE** location:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/AmpereComputing/edk2-ampere-tools.git

-## Notes
-
-If you run into any build issue with the Intel ASL+ Optimizing
Compiler/Disassembler (IASL) that comes with your Linux distro,
-download and install the IASL compiler from https://acpica.org/. At the time
of this write-up, we have tested with version 20200110.

-```bash
-$ wget https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/acpica-unix2-20200110.tar.gz
-$ tar xzf acpica-unix2-20200110.tar.gz
-$ cd acpica-unix2-20200110
-$ make HOST=_CYGWIN && sudo make install
