We are still keeping invalid email addressed in MAINTAINERS because they carry information.
The problem is that scripts/get_maintainer.pl adds emails in the "M:" field including invalid ones.
We want to comment out invalid email addresses in MAINTAINERS to prevent scripts/get_maintainer.pl from picking them up. On the other hand, we want to collect them for boards.cfg to know the last known maintainer of each board.
This commit adjusts tools/genboardscfg.py to parse also the commented "M:" fields, which is useful for the next commit.
