[PATCH v2 4/4] MAINTAINERS: Agree to maintain nanoMIPS TCG frontend

As of this commit, the nanoMIPS toolchains haven't been merged in mainstream projects. However MediaTek provides a toolchain: https://github.com/MediaTek-Labs/nanomips-gnu-toolchain/releases/tag/nano... QEMU deprecation policy schedules code for removal. If we don't need / want to remove, we should un-deprecated [*]. Since I now have spent more time with the ISA, I agree to maintain it along with the other MIPS ISA. Therefore remove its deprecation notice. For historical notes, see commit a60442eb8 ("Deprecate nanoMIPS ISA").
