Update CODEOWNERS to include TW assignments for files
What does this MR do and why?
Related to #349587 (closed)
This MR updates the current CODEOWNERS file to include references for many of the product documentation pages in the /doc directory. The goal of this change is to ensure that GitLab Bot refers content change MRs to the TW associated with the relevant stage/group in product documentation pages' metadata.
As a note, this MR adds almost 1,000 additional lines to the CODEOWNERS file. While we moved the documentation lines to the end of the file, we want to be sure that we're not causing any performance issues by adding this many lines to the file.
