This PR removes unrelated text from AUTHORS.md so that the file only lists PyGMT Developers. It also clarifies that AUTHORS.md contains the list of PyGMT Developers, and that the PyGMT Team is a separate group.

Changes in this PR:

  • Simplify AUTHORS.md into a list of PyGMT Developers
  • Clarify the role of AUTHORS.md in AUTHORSHIP.md
  • Add a section for the PyGMT team in AUTHORSHIP.md

Closes #4622.

I think I am fine with these adjustments. And they match with what we write at the bottom of the PyGMT website:
