Adds support for using the NVML (Nvidia management library) [0] directly
to retrieve information about available (or concrete: creatable at VM
start) vGPUs for Nvidia GPUs. 

This will allow in the future to support anything related to Nvidia
cards/devices in a more stable manner over different driver version, as
NVML provides a proper, independent abstraction.

E.g. the sysfs interface exposed by the driver may change (as it did
recently for kernels 6.8+) and might contain less information, as is now
already the case.  Currently, the "description" column in the mdev type
dropdown under Hardware -> hostpci* is empty for Nvidia vGPUs, since the
6.8 kernel IIRC, due to driver changes.

This restores this functionality, with the description being the result
of `proxmox_ve_vfio::VgpuTypeInfo::description()`, for example:

class=NVS,max-instances=24,max-instances-per-vm=1,
framebuffer-size=1024MiB,num-heads=1,max-resolution=1280x1024,
license=GRID-Virtual-Apps,3.0

In the future, these bindings will also be needed to implement support
for Nvidia MIG (Multi-Instance GPU), for which information are not
exposed in sysfs at all. See also the series [1] sent by Dominik
introducing a new hookscript phase, to, among other things, support
manually setting up MIG.

===========

proxmox-ve-rs -> proxmox-perl-rs -> pve-common, same as this series is
laid out. Each package will require a bump of previous one.
