Add usage flags for shared fences and improve the documentation.
This allows driver to better specify what shared fences are doing with the resource.

Entirely aside, but I ended up scratching my head a lot for why exactly this here is a shared fence, and why that's ok. Since just looking at this it seems like waiting for the memory allocation to actually be owned by this driver is optional.
Is this ok because the next thing we'll do is a move, which will then set the exclusive fence here. Which will then wait on the shared one here, so it doesn't matter? Or well, allows us to pipeline the eviction of ttm_man against whatever might be currently keeping the bo busy in it's current place?
Might be good candidate to explain this in a comment or something like that. -Daniel
