MAINTAINERS files generally have no specific maintainer but are updated
by individuals for subsystems all over the source tree.
Exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback searches so the unlucky
individuals that update the files the most are not shown by default.

V2:
Remove --git and --git-blame from the exclusion.
Someone who _really_ wants that info should get it.
