Currently it is not well defined what is drm-memory- compared to other
categories.
In practice the only driver which emits these keys is amdgpu and in them
exposes the total memory use (including shared).
Document that drm-memory- and drm-total-memory- are aliases to prevent any
confusion in the future.
While at it also clarify that the reserved sub-string 'memory' refers to
the memory region component.
