The SCSI tape driver (st) is currently marked as orphaned. Add
Laurence Oberman and John Meneghini as co-maintainers and change the
status to Maintained.

Also add a link to the tape_tests repository, which contains the test
suite used to validate the st driver.

Kai Mäkisara, the previous maintainer, has agreed to this change.
