xlibre fixes nvidia-modeset autodetect

For as long as I remember when nvidia-modeset was used I have always had to configure xorg.conf to specify nvidia to get X working. Otherwise X would continually try the wrong driver, and fail. Of course nvidia-drm module also fixes this, but I am happy to report that xlibre-nvidia-driver-580.119.02_1 fixes the issue for nvidia-modeset as well. It's nice to see something like this finally, after all these years even though it is a minor inconvenience get fixed for FreeBSD to where things just work more out of box now.
 
It should be worked on by XLibre side.
Why nvidia{-modeset} driver needed special configuration was simply because xorg-server does NOT even try to find proprietary nvidia driver, but old nv or nonexistent-on-FreeBSD nouveau drivers only for nvidia GPUs.
