docs/memory: Explictly state that MemoryRegion priority is signed

When memory regions overlap, priority can be used to specify
which of them takes priority. By making the priority values signed
rather than unsigned, we make it more convenient to implement
a situation where one "background" region should appear only
where no other region exists: rather than having to explicitly
specify a high priority for all the other regions, we can let them take
the default (zero) priority and specify a negative priority for the
background region.
