Remove --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia

Browse source 
Nvidia has historically been a bad actor in the open-source graphics
ecosystem because they required a special EGLStreams code-path
instead of exposing the de-facto standard GBM API. However, with
their upcoming release they now support GBM as well.

This is a push in the right direction for Nvidia, so there's no
reason we should be more hostile to them than to any other proprietary
driver. Let's remove the --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia flag, and advise
users to use --unsupported-gpu now.

Note, proprietary Nvidia drivers are still unsupported by the Sway
project (just like all other proprietary drivers).
