Add Elad Nachman as maintainer for Marvell Prestera Ethernet Switch driver.

Change Taras Chornyi mailbox to plvision.
This is a patch, so the description needs to explain why...
and who these people are. It would seem more natural if you,
Oleksandr and Yevhen were the maintainers.

Seriously, this is a community project please act the part.
The Marvell Prestera Switchdev Kernel Driver's focus and maintenance are shifted from PLVision (Marvell Contractors) to the Marvell team in Israel.
In the last 12 months, the driver's development efforts have been shared between the PLVision team and Elad Nachman from the Marvell Israel group.

Elad Nachman is a veteran with over ten years of experience in Linux kernel development.
He has made many Linux kernel contributions to several community projects, including the Linux kernel, DPDK (KNI Linux Kernel driver) and the DENT project.
Elad has done reviews and technical code contributions on Armada 3700, Helping Pali Rohár, who is the maintainer of the Armada 3700 PCI sub-system, as well as others in the Armada 3700 cpufreq sub-system.
In the last year and a half, Elad has internally dealt extensively with the Marvell Prestera sub-system and has led various upstreaming sub-projects related to the Prestera sub-system, Including Prestera sub-system efforts related to the Marvell AC5/X SOC drivers upstreaming. This included technical review and guidance on the technical aspects and code content of the patches sent for review.
In addition, Elad is a member of the internal review group of code before it applies as a PR.

Finally, do note the fact that I will continue to maintain/support this driver, but I would like to have someone that I can share the effort with.
