This is to allow installation of 560+ nvidia drivers that only have '-open' packages.

recommendations.

NVIDIA recommends open drivers for 560 and later. Flip the closed-vs-
open preference when these newer drivers are encountered.

New rules:
- No server drivers.
- No open drivers under 560, unless nothing else is available.
- No closed drivers 560 and above, unless nothing else is available.
- Only distro/default drivers can be 'recommended', not PPA.
