Update the 525 and 525-server NVIDIA driver series in Bionic, Focal, Jammy, and Kinetic

[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.

[Francis Ginther (fginther)]

No regressions found for either 515-server or 525-server. Both were tested as DKMS and as LRMs using the generic kernel in all releases (lunar could not be installed with lrm). Jammy was also tested with the linux-nvidia kernel and LRMs.
