memory: Rename readable flag to romd_mode
"Readable" is a very unfortunate name for this flag because even a rom_device region will always be readable from the guest POV. What differs is the mapping, just like the comments had to explain already. Also, readable could currently be understood as being a generic region flag, but it only applies to rom_device regions. So rename the flag and the function to modify it after the original term "ROMD" which could also be interpreted as "ROM direct", i.e. ROM mode with direct access. In any case, the scope of the flag is clearer now.
