feat: NVIDIA fix for gaming mode (kernel parameters and early modules)

Untested on hardware; .no-release-yet keeps it out of the release.

# NVIDIA fix for gaming mode, part of the SteamOS conversion
# (gaming_enable/gaming_disable). gamescope drives the display itself
# through DRM/KMS; with NVIDIA that needs kernel modesetting and the
# framebuffer driver (nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1) and the
# driver in the initramfs, or the screen shows a corrupted image.
# Does nothing without an NVIDIA GPU that has its driver installed.
# Sourced by steamify.sh; not meant to be run on its own.
