[RFC PATCH 5/5] MAINTAINERS: Add myself (Sean) as a reviewer in the main KVM entry

Add myself as a reviewer for overall KVM, as I have been helping shepherd
a decent chunk of the virt/kvm commits into the kernel over the last few
years, and I expect to continue doing so. Of the 270 non-merge commits
that have been made to virt/kvm since v6.6, I have committed 127 (~47%)
and Paolo has committed 117 (~43.3%), with all but 5 of the remaining 26
coming from non-KVM folks, e.g. from treewide changes.

Note, this intended to purely be an efficiency and quality of life
improvement, for both contributors and myself. There is no implied right
of succession or anything of the sort.
