Update the 470 and the 470-server NVIDIA drivers

[Alberto Milone]

Update the 470 (UDA) and 470-server (ERD) NVIDIA series in Bionic, Focal, Hirsute.

[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.

While the 470-server drivers installed and passed the cuda testing across bionic/focal/hirsute, "ubuntu-drivers" does not identify this as a option for any release. The response I see is:

Retested with the latest kernels as of Sept 7, 2021. Now able to see that ubuntu-drivers now lists the 470-server driver as an available option. For both Focal and Hirsute, I first had to enable -proposed. For Bionic, it worked with the 4.15.0-156.163 kernel that was released this week.

Tested combinations:
Release   Kernel
Bionic    4.15.0-156.163
Focal     5.4.0-85.95 (from focal-proposed)
Hirsute   5.11.0-35.37 (from hirsute-proposed)

Tested each driver with a cuda workload and use of nvidia-smi to verify the driver functions as expected after install.
