Allow any number of command line arguments to match either the
section header or the section contents and create new files.
Create MAINTAINERS.new and SECTION.new.
This allows scripting of the movement of various sections from
MAINTAINERS.

Instead of reading STDIN and writing STDOUT, use specific filenames of
MAINTAINERS and MAINTAINERS.new.
Use hash references instead of global hash %hash so future modifications
can read and write specific hashes to split up MAINTAINERS into multiple
files using a script.

Section [A-Z]: patterns are not currently in any required sorting order.
Add a specific sorting sequence to MAINTAINERS entries.
Sort F: and X: patterns in alphabetic order.
The preferred section ordering is:
SECTION HEADER
M: Maintainers
R: Reviewers
P: Named persons without email addresses
L: Mailing list addresses
S: Status of this section (Supported, Maintained, Orphan, etc...)
W: Any relevant URLs
T: Source code control type (git, quilt, etc)
Q: Patchwork patch acceptance queue site
B: Bug tracking URIs
C: Chat URIs
F: Files with wildcard patterns (alphabetic ordered)
X: Excluded files with wildcard patterns (alphabetic ordered)
N: Files with regex patterns
K: Keyword regexes in source code for maintainership identification
Miscellaneous perl neatening:
- Rename %map to %hash, map has a different meaning in perl
- Avoid using \& and local variables for function indirection
- Use return for a little c like clarity
- Use c-like function call style instead of &function

This adds a perl script to actually parse the MAINTAINERS file, clean up
some whitespace in it, warn about errors in it, and then properly sort
the end result.
My perl-fu is atrocious, so the script has basically been created by
randomly putting various characters in a pile, mixing them around, and
then looking it the end result does anything interesting when used as a
perl script.
