treewide: remove MAINTAINERS

The MAINTAINERS files are no longer used and are out of date (references
to IRC still exist in most of them).  Remove them and rely on the OWNERS
exclusively.

-How to use this list:
-    Find the most specific section entry (described below) that matches where
-    your change lives and add the reviewers (R) and maintainers (M) as
-    reviewers. You can use the same method to track down who knows a particular
-    code base best.
-
-    Your change/query may span multiple entries; that is okay.
-
-    If you do not find an entry that describes your request at all, someone
-    forgot to update this list; please at least file an issue or send an email
-    to a maintainer, but preferably you should just update this document.
-
-Description of section entries:
-
-    Section entries are structured according to the following scheme:
-
-    X:  NAME <EMAIL_USERNAME@DOMAIN> <DISCORD_USERNAME!>
-    X:  ...
-    .
-    .
-    .
-
-    Where REPO_NAME is the name of the repository within the OpenBMC GitHub
-    organization; FILE_PATH is a file path within the repository, possibly with
-    wildcards; X is a tag of one of the following types:
-
-    M:  Denotes maintainer; has fields NAME <EMAIL_USERNAME@DOMAIN> <DISCORD_USERNAME!>;
-        if omitted from an entry, assume one of the maintainers from the
-        MAINTAINERS entry.
-    R:  Denotes reviewer; has fields NAME <EMAIL_USERNAME@DOMAIN> <DISCORD_USERNAME!>;
-        these people are to be added as reviewers for a change matching the repo
-        path.
-    F:  Denotes forked from an external repository; has fields URL.
-
-    Line comments are to be denoted "# SOME COMMENT" (typical shell style
-    comment); it is important to follow the correct syntax and semantics as we
-    may want to use automated tools with this file in the future.
-
-    A change cannot be added to an OpenBMC repository without a MAINTAINER's
-    approval; thus, a MAINTAINER should always be listed as a reviewer.
