Add a section formally defining memory ordering guaranteed by the OpenSHMEM API. This formalization section describes how a formal PL-level memory model like C++ can be extended to define the API-level memory semantics provided by OpenSHMEM. This adds clarity and reduces ambiguity about how OpenSHMEM interacts with the memory system, which is increasingly important as the API is implemented on accelerators with SW managed coherence
