[maint] clarify ISA area


Hello,

I was asked if ISA developers could commit changes to OS-ABI files. Reading the MAINTAINERS file there is:

- an obvious typo s/API/ABI/
- that yes as the responsibility both covers *-tdep.c and "API variants"[sic] (i.e., OS-ABI variants).


But of course they should also ``work with native maintainers'' - post an RFC instead of just committing when a change is non-trivial.

This patch cleans up the typo and clarifies this a little.

I'll commit it in a few days,
Andrew
