RM 418-server LRM and demote to multiverse

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

418-server is EOL by nvidia upstream

however, there is a small number of cards (<<10%, ~40+) that are only supported by 418-server driver and are not supported by any later *-server driver versions.

the plan is to stop building LRM for 418-server, not declare transitionals for it, make it dkms-only driver and provide it multiverse, with only the modaliases that are unique to it.

this makes 418-server drivers a dead-end w.r.t. LRM transitionals.

Reviewing the state of the kernel transition, I see in https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_output.txt:

Only the lowlatency binaries appear to be a problem, not all the others you list, which should fall out via NBS handling. And for these two, they are still built from the version of linux-restricted-modules-lowlatency in kinetic-proposed. linux-restricted-modules-lowlatency needs a sourceful fix to stop building these binary packages, after which we can NBS remove them from kinetic-proposed and the whole thing should migrate.
