[Impact]

 * To aid installer testing of the correct kernels with/without nvidia, it would be helpful to test nvidia driver installation in qemu VMs without actually needing nvidia hardware.

 * We already have `Modaliases: meta(dmi:*:pnUBUNTUQEMUTEST:*)` to test installs with oem-qemu-meta (aka certified install)

 * It would be useful to add nvidia modalias of `Modaliases: meta(dmi:*:pvrUBUNTUNVIDIATEST:*)` no nvidia-graphics-drivers-460

 * This way we will be able to test generic with/without nvidia; and oem with/without nvidia. By combinding pn & pvr dmi modaliases.

[Test Case]

 * Setup ubuntu qemu libvirt vm with dmi sysinfo setting product version to UBUNTUNVIDIATEST

 * Boot and execute ubuntu-drivers list

 * Observe that nvidia drivers show up as options.

[Where problems could occur]

 * Additional mod alias will be exposed in the package metadata, and whilst it will be installed it will not be loaded. It is purely an installer test interface.
