x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers: add out-of-tree modules to README.gentoo
While this applies to every ebuilds that build modules, nvidia-drivers
is often a user's first or only experience with these and support
requests from those that did not know are somewhat common (e.g.
upgraded kernel without rebuilding, or built modules against the
wrong kernel).
While wiki is better for a lot of these things, having more sources
mention this material increase chances to reach users.
