Description

This PR repairs how NVIDIA drivers should get their version.
The new NVIDIA open-kernel driver has the new word Open in /proc/driver/nvidia/version.
The way NVIDIA recommends to get the NVIDIA version is by getting it from /sys/module/nvidia/version.

By using the old method, neofetch would output the NVIDIA driver like this:

This PR solves this problem:
