[PATCH net] MAINTAINERS: update the IPv4/IPv6 entry and add Ido Schimmel

[Jakub Kicinski]

The IPv4/IPv6 and routing code is not very well separated from
the TCP/UDP code. Scope it down properly by providing a more
accurate file list, instead of net/ipv4/ and net/ipv6/

Now that the entry is more accurately representing layer 3
and routing merge in the nexthop entry into it.

Add Ido Schimmel as a co-maintainer, Ido's git history speaks
for itself.
