README.md: improve instructions for sunxi versions
If the user wants to build the sunxi version of the kernel they can specify the PREFERRED_PROVIDER block in their conf/local.conf (i.e. they don't need to edit the layer explicitly). Also, now that gcc-5.2 is the default on master, inform the user how they can continue to build the sunxi version (3.4%) version of the kernel by forcing the compiler to version 4.9.

There is a custom U-Boot and Kernel version for sunxi devices which includes some special drivers not mainlined.

Also, older kernel versions such as this don't build successfully with any gcc version 5.0 or newer. Since gcc-5.2 is the current
