Made relation between priority and number explicit

Browse source 
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.
