[MapServer-dev] MapServer Sponsorship Links

No need for voting for that IMHO. Just go ahead with a PR, 
de-duplicating those 2 somewhat overlapping pages, and making relevant 
additions.

Perhaps just keep the 2 top items (release management & workshop) and 
cut each to $1,250 each to fit in the 2.5k ?
