The instructions are printed by "make -C roms help".

We could teach roms/Makefile to either automatically fetch the sources
(be that the upstream edk2 tarball or a qemu-firmware-src tarball should
we go with the approach suggested by Daniel elsewhere in this thread),
or throw an error with instructions when they are not present.
