[PATCH 1/2] scripts/get_maintainer.pl: Add -f directory use

[Joe Perches]

Don't require a specific file in a directory
to be tested.

Also Arnd Bergmann pointed out that the MAINTAINERS
pattern requirement that directory patterns have a
trailing slash was unnecessary and was likely to be
error prone.  Removed that requirement.
