Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * The 515 series introduced open kernel modules for the NVIDIA driver. They 
come with an open source licence, and should be provided as an option for 
datacenter GPUs:
     
https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-releases-open-source-gpu-kernel-modules/

     Currently, this is only production-ready (and enabled) on
  datacenter GPUs.

   * We should enable signed modules for the 515-open drivers, giving
  users the option to try the drivers.

   * The ubuntu-drivers tool should set a lower priority for the -open
  flavour, so that we do not end up recommending it over the plain 515
  flavour.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * [ubuntu-drivers-common]:
     "sudo ubuntu-drivers install (to make sure the driver is not installed by 
default)"

   * [nvidia driver]

     "sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:515-open" to make sure that the
  driver can be installed manually.

     Please make sure that this installs the correct linux-restricted-
  modules.

     Note: support for GeForce and Workstation GPUs is alpha-quality,
  and is disabled by default. This means that desktop testing is not
  needed at the moment.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * This adds a new driver combination, which is not meant to be default, and 
is only enabled for a limited amount of devices (datacenter GPUs).
   * We need to be sure that the driver is not recommended over the other 
drivers.
