feat: "Gaming on NVIDIA" replaces the SteamOS conversion on NVIDIA PCs

gamescope's gaming mode shows a corrupted picture on NVIDIA (NVIDIA bug 5240452), also nested in KDE and in a KWin-only
session. With an NVIDIA GPU the conversion (gaming, boot, single, glyphs) is hidden unless already on, and nvidia takes its
place: Steam installed when missing and started at login on the Plasma desktop (user unit), with the sub-option bigpicture
for Big Picture or the normal window. The kernel parameters and early NVIDIA modules (RTX 20 series or newer) are kept as
part of it. tests/nvidia-test.sh covers the component and the menu rules against a fake GPU.

- **NVIDIA graphics cards:** gamescope's gaming mode shows a corrupted
picture there (an open NVIDIA driver bug), so the conversion isn't
offered. **Gaming on NVIDIA** takes its place: Steam on the desktop,
installed if it's missing and started at login, in **Big Picture** or its
normal window as you choose
