buildman: Add a quick-start note
For those who just want to build a board, it is useful to see a quick hint right at the start of the documentation. Add a few commands showing how to download toolchains and build a board. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

+Quick-start
+===========
+
+If you just want to quickly set up buildman so you can build something (for
+example Raspberry Pi 2):
+
+ cd /path/to/u-boot
+ PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/tools/buildman
+ buildman --fetch-arch arm
+ buildman -k rpi_2
+ ls ../current/rpi_2
+ # u-boot.bin is the output image
+
+
What is this?
