Remove --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia
Nvidia has historically been a bad actor in the open-source graphics ecosystem because they required a special EGLStreams code-path instead of exposing the de-facto standard GBM API. However, with their upcoming release they now support GBM as well. This is a push in the right direction for Nvidia, so there's no reason we should be more hostile to them than to any other proprietary driver. Let's remove the --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia flag, and advise users to use --unsupported-gpu now. Note, proprietary Nvidia drivers are still unsupported by the Sway project (just like all other proprietary drivers).
