x11-misc/lightdm: tell the users experiencing the "X not started on a Nvidia 
GPU" problem what to do

Leaving the deployed default configuration be because the issue appears
to be a bug in Nvidia drivers rather than lightdm itself, and I see no
point in switching this off for everyone when all that is needed is a
one-time, one-line change.

Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/886607
