Install Flatpak runtime when installing NVIDIA drivers #139

Problem

After installing proprietary NVIDIA drivers, Web tabs crash like when we were missing the GL extension.

Proposal

Install the matching NVIDIA Flatpak GL extension when installing drivers.

Hm, I had wondered about this, after installing the proprietary driver on my machine, I didn't notice any tab crashes in Web, but maybe it varies per hardware or how you have the driver configured (i.e. all the stuff about on-demand modes, etc)

I'll look into this, but initial thoughts are that AFAIK you have to match the nvidia GL runtime exactly to the version of the nvidia driver installed, down to the point release. So it would definitely be worth future me investigating if we can get Flatpak to do that matching for us, since it must have the code to do that, rather than trying to match ourselves.

I think flatpak installs it automatically on the first update after the driver is installed. I wonder if it would just be as simple as doing the equivalent of running flatpak updates after the driver is installed?

Transferring to System Settings since Drivers are moving out of AppCenter
