Bug#1081302: nvidia-graphics-drivers: New upstream releases 550 (production) and 560 (new-feature)

[Lucas Serrano]

Hi,
Just to add that RTX 4XXX Super were briefly supported on one 
experimental version, 535.154.05, published on March 2024.
I'm not aware of 4XXX Super support in any later 535 or even 545 
versions. Switching to 550 or 560 branches should enable these new cards 
to be supported once again.

Thanks,
Lucas
