docs/core-api: make mm-api.rst more structured
The mm-api.rst covers variety of memory management APIs under "More Memory Management Functions" section. The descriptions included there are in a random order there are quite a few of them which makes the section too long. Regrouping the documentation by subject and splitting the long "More Memory Management Functions" section into several smaller sections makes the generated html more usable.
