Re-sending these two since they garnered little attention last time round.

First patch clarifies what drm-memory- is, and that it is legacy, and second
patch updates amdgpu to start emitting new keys together with the legacy (by
using the common DRM helper).

With that gputop will show the resident usage (not just total) and as bonus I
added active and purgeable.

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 current resident buffer object memory (including shared).

To prevent any confusion, document that drm-memory- is deprecated and an
alias for drm-resident-memory-.

While at it also clarify that the reserved sub-string 'memory' refers to
the memory region component, and also clarify the intended semantics of
other memory categories.

v2:
 * Also mark drm-memory- as deprecated.
 * Add some more text describing memory categories. (Alex)

v3:
 * Semantics of the amdgpu drm-memory is actually as drm-resident.
