chore: use nvidia-kernel-open module

[mirkobrombin]

Should fix some issues with multiple-monitors (based on feedback from another user) and probably others.

Merging rules

• Merging this PR makes Vanilla OS start supporting the nvidia-propietary
• We have to take note that older GPUs will not work, they should be pointed to use the new nvidia-propietary
• The installer must be updated to identify old GPUs (like 470.x or 390.x) and suggest the new nvidia-propietary
• We have to find a way to automatically update existing installations (I was thinking of just making a new nvidia-open-image image instead of nvidia -propietary so as existing installations do not get affected, but that would change nothing since existing installations with issues will just keep having issues and needs to switch to the new nvidia-open manually which is the same as doing the opposite)
• I suggest to wait for some more users testing the changes (by using the mirkobrombin/nvidia-open image, if this actually fixes some issues then it must be merged
• DO NOT merge this without first following the previous steps

Where I tested

I do not have an external monitor to test. Anyway I tested this on 2 different laptops:

• GTX 1660
• RTX 4050

What I tested

everything works fine, especially:

• switching PRIME profiles
• Wayland
• Xorg
• games (Steam via Flatpak/Apx (Ubuntu)/Cpak verified via MangoHUD

Issues

had no issues of any type, also interesting point: boot was speeded up by about 3s, I don't know if it's related but I noticed it 4 out of 4 times

Custom Kargs

none, just the default ones (quiet splash bgrt_disable $vt_handoff lsm=integrity)

Does not fix/Does not change

I am including in this section some of the issues we are already tracking that does not get fixed and/or don't change with this change.

• some setups (currently 3 reports) remain stuck on the vanilla logo

[MeDerpWasTaken]

Won't this prevent the drivers from working on pre-Turing GPUs? (Including 10 and 9 series)

Yes. I am preparing another image for those GPUs, planning to detect them during the installation to switch to that image instead. NVIDIA setups are so delicate that providing at least 2 images should cover the majority of issues.

EDIT: just updated the main comment.
