get_maintainer: allow option --mpath <directory> to read all files in <directory>
There is an external use case for multiple private MAINTAINER style files
in a separate directory. Allow it.
--mpath has a default of "./MAINTAINERS".
The value entered can be either a file or a directory.
The behaviors are now:
--mpath <file> Read only the specific file as <MAINTAINER_TYPE> file
--mpath <directory> Read all files in <directory> as <MAINTAINER_TYPE> files
--mpath <directory> --find-maintainer-files
Recurse through <directory> and read all files named MAINTAINERS
