x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers: remove open experimental notice for 555+
Meant to wait until 560 which will use the open variant by default when
detected cards are seen to support it (ebuild still need the USE given
not doing automagic) but 555 is essentially a the pre-release branch
for it and some users are confused by the experimental notices at this
point even if dampened compared to how hard warned about it early on.
