target/mips: Undeprecate nanoMIPS ISA support in QEMU

Browse source 
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.
