MAINTAINERS: Mark VHDX block driver as "Odd Fixes"

Browse source 
In 2018 (in commit 5f5246b6b) Jeff Cody stepped down as block
maintainer, but left himself as maintainer for VHDX and with a status
of "Supported", with the rationale:

    For VHDX, added my personal email address as a maintainer, as I can
    answer questions or send the occassional bug fix.  Leaving it as
    'Supported', instead of 'Odd Fixes', because I think the rest of the
    block layer maintainers and developers will upkeep it as well, if
    needed.

However, today the way we treat subsystems which are only maintained
under the general umbrella of a wider system is usually to mark them
as "Odd Fixes".  The vhdx.c code has had no commits which aren't a
part of more general refactoring changes since 2020, and Jeff himself
hasn't been active on qemu-devel since 2018, so this seems also to be
how we've handled the code in practice.
