target/mips: Undeprecate nanoMIPS ISA support in QEMU
nanoMIPS ISA support in QEMU is actively used by MediaTek and is
planned to be maintained and potentially extended by MediaTek in
future.
Un-orphan nanoMIPS ISA support in QEMU by setting a maintainer from
MediaTek and remove deprecation notes from documentation as well.
