This reverts most of eb90d08 "get_maintainer: allow keywords to match filenames"; all except the parts that are required to implement the new N: entry type.
The rationale is that it's better to have K: match just patch or file content as it previously did, and N: match just filenames, rather than have K: math all three cases. This gives more explicit control, and removes the temptation to use K: for filenames, and then have those keywords accidentally match unexpected patch or file content.
