  Introduce Emeritus Committer status.

This patch introduces an Emeritus status for OVS committers. An
Emeritus Committer is recognized as having made a significant impact
to the project and having been a committer in the past.  It is
intended as an option for those that do not currently have the time or
interest to fulfill committer responsibilities based on their current
responsibilities.  While in this status, they are not included in
voting for governance purposes.

An emeritus committer may be re-instated as a full committer at any
time.

The OVS committers voted approval of this change.

See documentation contents for full details.
