doc: remove "maintenance is supported by" text in BUILDING.md

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/Trott/tier-support into master

The "maintenance is supported by" stuff in BUILDING.md is unclear. It seems unnecessary so I propose removing it.

I don't understand what it means to, in this context, support maintenance. Does it mean that you simply do the maintenance? Does that mean it really just means "maintain"? Do we really mean that we mantain support, rather than support maintenance?

That information does not seem necessary to include. I'm not sure it's meaningful. With (for example) Windows, is it accurate to say that the Node.js core team maintains support for it? Or is it accurate to say that support is maintaned by smaller groups or individuals within the Node.js core team? Both could be considered accurate. So is the difference meaningful?

I think the more important elements of determinig tier support are the other listed elements.
