Autobuilding nvidia packages

Hello folks,

Please add the following non-free packages to the list of auto-buildable
packages:

* nvidia-graphics-drivers
* nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-173xx
* nvidia-cuda-toolkit

The XS-Autobuild flag has been set on nvidia-graphics-drivers and
nvidia-cuda-toolkit already and is set on the upload of
nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-173xx that's currently in the NEW queue.

The nvidia license has no restrictions on the process of repackaging
(other than not modifying the binaries). The build also does not require
any special hardware (e.g. a nvidia gpu) to be present on the building
machine.  A "build" is essentially just repackaging the binary files
provided by nvidia into the appropriate places plus building some
supporting software and glue.

Thanks!
