chromium: remove maintainer handles from README.md, mention electron
Specifically the maintainers section is quite outdated and prone to get out of sync with whatever primary data we have (mostly meta.maintainers) in each derivation. In an attempt to lower the risk of ending up out of sync again, we simply remove the maintainer handles. Also adds a mention for the newly from source built electron variant, as almost everything except `upstream-info.nix` bumps will trigger electron rebuilds as well. And lastly, removes mentions of `chromium{Beta,Dev}` and the accompanying `google-chrome-{beta,dev}, that have been removed a few months ago. I might look into reworking bigger parts of the README.md in the future, but this honestly isn't that high of a priority for me for now. (cherry picked from commit cdf5db87d48a1264b9ce68cb1755fe696a9e6713)

# Maintainers
- Note: We could always use more contributors, testers, etc. E.g.:
- - A dedicated maintainer for the NixOS stable channel
+ - Dedicated maintainers for the NixOS stable channel
- PRs with cleanups, improvements, fixes, etc. (but please try to make reviews
as easy as possible)
- People who handle stale issues/PRs
-- Primary maintainer (responsible for all updates): @primeos
-- Testers (test all stable channel updates)
- - `nixos-unstable`:
- - `x86_64`: @danielfullmer
- - `aarch64`: @thefloweringash
- - Stable channel:

- - `chromiumBeta` and `chromiumDev`: For testing purposes only (not build on
- Hydra). We use these channels for testing and to fix build errors in advance
