This PR adds nvidia and nvidia-legacy binary drivers to better support wide range of nvidia GPUs. It supersedes #391.

To use X11 + nvidia-binary drivers instead of DRM/KMS + nouveau set X11SERVER=yes when building Lakka, for example:
DISTRO=Lakka PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 X11SERVER=yes make image

DRM/KMS builds should work as earlier, just don't add X11SERVER=yes.

DRM in-kernel drivers are now compiled as modules, as nouveau conflicts with nvidia drivers and needs to be blacklisted. RT kernel patch is reverted as it don't work with nvidia drivers.

There are various buildfixes which were needed to build Lakka after the changes, as well as updated kernel configs.

In the future, to reduce maintenance burden, xf86-video-* DDX drivers could be ditched in favour of the generic xf86-video-modesetting driver. It'll probably require update of xorg-server.

I read the changes, they look OK. Thanks.
Too bad we can't keep x11 and a realtime kernel at the same time.

We could add another project, e.g. Generic-x11, but it's an additional pair of linux-configs to maintain.
