Introduce the new NVIDIA 418-server and 440-server series, and update the current NVIDIA drivers

[Alberto Milone]

[Impact]
These releases provide both bug fixes and new features, and we would like to
make sure all of our users have access to these improvements.

See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugs.

[Test Case]
The following development and SRU process was followed:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NVidiaUpdates

Certification test suite must pass on a range of hardware:
https://git.launchpad.net/plainbox-provider-sru/tree/units/sru.pxu

The QA team that executed the tests will be in charge of attaching the artifacts and console output of the appropriate run to the bug. nVidia maintainers team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until this has happened.

[Regression Potential]
In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
aforementioned system level tests are attached to this bug.

[Discussion]

440.82:
  * New upstream release:
    - Added a workaround for Steam Play title DOOM Eternal, which
      overrides application requested memory locations, to ensure
      performance-critical resources be placed in video memory.
    - Allow presenting from queue families which only expose
      VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT when using XCB in addition to Xlib
      surfaces.
    - Fixed a bug that caused render-offloaded applications to crash
      on exit.
    - Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release
      candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
      error "implicit declaration of function 'timespec_to_ns'".
    - Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release
      candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
      error "implicit declaration of function 'getrawmonotonic'".
    - Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release
      candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
      error "implicit declaration of function 'timespec_to_ns'".

      candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
      error "implicit declaration of function 'getrawmonotonic'".
    - Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release
      candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
      error "implicit declaration of function 'getnstimeofday'".
    - Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release
      candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
      error "dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'struct
      timeval'".
    - Fixed a driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release
      candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
      error "implicit declaration of function 'jiffies_to_timespec'".
    - Fixed driver installation failure on Linux kernel 5.6 release
      candidates, where the NVIDIA kernel module failed to build with
      error "passing argument 4 of 'proc_create_data' from

Tested 418.152-server and 440.95-server on both bionic and focal.
Please find results and related logs here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LTKLunx9yAMaP1nfvZXIhqs3pSNuhyupJfqA_DrS6eY/edit#gid=1557613599

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

The results look good to me. The only case that looks like a failure doesn't really have the nvidia modules loaded, so it's ok.

I make this only low prio as we did stop to ship lrm with from the linux-hwe source in bionic. So I am only adding the minimal build support (just in case) and the update parts to it for the only potential user which is linux-aws-5.3. And even that might become obsoleted any minute.
