Add suspending providers section to provider governance (#64252)
Document that providers can be suspended from CI builds and releases
when their dependencies block upgrades, including per-Python-version
suspension. Stewards are responsible for resolving issues and ensuring
green CI before unsuspension.

+Suspending providers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When a provider's dependencies prevent the broader Airflow project from
upgrading shared
+dependencies or otherwise block CI builds and releases, the provider may be
**suspended**. Suspension
+removes the provider from CI builds and releases until the underlying
dependency issues are resolved.
+
+Suspension may also be applied selectively for **individual Python versions**
when a dependency
+problem only affects a specific Python version rather than all supported
versions.
+
+It is the responsibility of the provider's **stewards** to:
+
+* Work with upstream maintainers to resolve the dependency issues
+* Ensure that unsuspending the provider results in a green CI across all
affected Python versions
+* Communicate progress and resolution on the dev list
+
+Suspension is not a lifecycle stage---it is a temporary operational measure
that can apply to providers
+at any lifecycle stage (incubation, production, or mature). Once the
dependency issues are resolved and
+CI is green, the provider is unsuspended and returns to normal operations.

Periodic reviews
