MAINTAINERS: Add references to tip tree handbook

The tip tree handbook is a pretty handy reference for keeping the
various tip maintainers happy. But there are no references to it
in the MAINTAINERS file.

Add a references to the handbook for a number of subsystems. I've
added these for all of the obvious subsystems that list T:.../tip.git
and are likely to follow the tip rules.

This will be useful both for humans digging in the MAINTAINERS file
and our new AI bot overlords.

I'm cc'ing all the M:'s and L:'s listed for the subsystems but leaving
off the R:'s because the cc list is already out of control. I'll
commit this to *some* tip branch if there's general consensus that
this is a good idea.
