configs/arm_foundationv8: bump to Linux 6.12 and model 11.27

- Bump Linux kernel to v6.12.15, update the hash file and add the
  dependency on host-python3.
- Bump the FVP in the readme to version 11.27 build 19.

While at it:
- Rework the readme a bit with explicit build instructions, add a link
  to the model binaries running on AArch64 host and update the model
  command line to specify Arm v8.0 (as we are building for Cortex-A53).
- Turn on hashes verification and update .checkpackageignore
  accordingly.
- Add myself as co-developer for this defconfig.

+Introduction
+============
+
 This is the support for the ARM Foundation v8 machine emulated by the
 ARM software simulator of the AArch64 architecture.
 
-First, one has to download the AArch64 software simulator from:
+Building
+========
+
+  $ make arm_foundationv8_defconfig
+  $ make
+
+Generated files under output/images:
+
+* linux-system.axf: An image comprising the boot-wrapper-aarch64 minimal
+                    firmware and bootloader, a Devicetree and the Linux kernel.
+* rootfs.ext2:      The OS root filesystem.
+
+Running on the simulator
+========================
 
-  https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/ecosystem-models/FM_11_25/Foundation_Platform_11.25_15_Linux64.tgz
+Download the AArch64 software simulator from one of the following sources,
+corresponding to your host computer:
 
-Then, use the arm_foundationv8_defconfig configuration to build your
-Buildroot system.

+- https://developer.arm.com/-/cdn-downloads/permalink/FVPs-Architecture/FM-11.27/Foundation_Platform_11.27_19_Linux64_armv8l.tgz
 
 Finally, boot your system with:
 
  ${LOCATION_OF_FOUNDATIONV8_SIMULATOR}/models/Linux64_GCC-9.3/Foundation_Platform \
+    --arm-v8.0 \
     --image output/images/linux-system.axf \
