memory: Change MemoryRegion priorities from unsigned to 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.
