395: Made relation between priority and number explicit r=korken89 a=diondokter

When quickly reading through the priorities chapter, I couldn't find in which order the priorities were, so I assumed it was the same as in the hardware.
In the cortex-m hardware, interrupts with the **lower** priority number will preempt the other interrupts.
RTIC does the reverse, so I think it's good to be more explicit about it.

using the `priority` argument. Tasks can have priorities in the range `1..=(1 <<
NVIC_PRIO_BITS)` where `NVIC_PRIO_BITS` is a constant defined in the `device`
crate. When the `priority` argument is omitted, the priority is assumed to be

When several tasks are ready to be executed the one with highest static
priority will be executed first. Task prioritization can be observed in the
following scenario: an interrupt signal arrives during the execution of a low
priority task; the signal puts the higher priority task in the pending state.
