thermal: Move ABI documentation to Documentation/ABI
The thermal ABI and the internal development details are described in:
Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst
Move the sysfs ABI description to Documentation/ABI, ensuring that
scripts/get_abi.pl will properly parse it.
While here, also update the thermal record in MAINTAINERS to point to
the documentation.
