doc/memory.txt: correct description of MemoryRegionOps fields
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.
