[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add emeritus category and retire some maintainers

[Gedare Bloom]

This patch addresses the staleness of the MAINTAINERS file with
respect to a few of the core developers. I want to thank Jennifer and
Thomas for their contributions, some of which continue behind the
scenes but do not involve direct code maintenance anymore. I've also
added Eric Norum to the Emeritus category to reflect his substantial
prior involvement in RTEMS maintenance some time ago.

In addition, Amaan Cheval is stepping down from his role as X86_64
maintainer. I thank him for his contributions in that direction too.
