Update CODEOWNERS to add egroup group

Jamie Maynard requested to merge update-codeowners-for-egroup into main

Why is this change being made?

Its been agreed all mandated entries in the CODEOWNERS file should have an egroup entry. E-Group are the ultimate owners of all handbook content and be reviewers and approvers of last resort for Handbook content and the ultimate DRIs.

Additionally we've added a handbook group to all entries as there are activities which sometimes make mass changes to the handbook which can touch on many pages across many sections. This group allows the Handbook team to act without having to gather many approvals.
