Bug#886852: NVidia driver : upgrade to version 384.111

[Luca Boccassi]

Great, thanks!

Andreas, tested as well on my Stretch desktop, both glvnd and non-glvnd 
look fine.

The new meta packages for switching over are handy, unfortunately apt
chokes on them - aptitude is able to figure it out though.

I suspect it's again due to multiarch - seems to be a recurring problem
with apt. So don't think there's anything we can do.

Also tried DOW3 with Vulkan and it worked fine too.
