Provide a new helper function memory_region_init_rom() for memory
regions which are read-only (and unlike those created by
memory_region_init_rom_device() don't have special behaviour
for writes). This has the same behaviour as calling
memory_region_init_ram() and then memory_region_set_readonly()
(which is what we do today in boards with pure ROMs) but is a
more easily discoverable API for the purpose.

Probably what happened was that when the API was being designed it
started off with an 'aligned' field, and then later the field name
and semantics were changed but the docs weren't updated to match.
Similarly, cpu_register_io_memory() does not exist anymore, so
clarify the documentation for .old_mmio.

In the regions overlap example, region B has a higher priority thus
should has a larger priority number than C.

Improve the part of the memory region documentation which describes
the various different kinds of memory region:
* add the missing types ROM, IOMMU and reservation
* mention the functions used to initialize each type, as a hint
for finding the API docs and examples of use

Explicitly call object_unparent in the few places where we
will re-create the memory region. If the memory region is
simply being destroyed as part of device teardown, let QOM
handle it.

The documentation of how overlapping memory regions behave and how
the priority system works was rather brief, and confusion about
priorities seems to be quite common for developers trying to understand
how the memory region system works, so expand and clarify it.
This includes a worked example with overlaps, documentation of the
behaviour when an overlapped container has "holes", and mention
that it's valid for a region to have both MMIO callbacks and
subregions (and how this interacts with priorities when it does).

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.
