Move up dependency versions in user guide 

Move up the version numbers of the following Trusted Firmware
dependencies in the user guide:

*   Foundation and Base FVPs (latest publically available
    versions).

*   EDK2 implementation. The guide now uses the latest version from
    https://github.com/ARM-software/edk2.git. This requires the
    `iasl` package to also be installed.

*   Linux kernel. The guide now uses the latest version from
    https://github.com/ARM-software/linux.git.

*   Linaro OpenEmbedded file system.

*   ARM Development Studio 5.
