[Cooker] Naming of new NVIDIA legacy driver series, 173.14.xx

Hi all!

NVIDIA has dropped support for GeForce FX in their last beta proprietary
driver. GeForce FX will continue to be supported by 173.14.xx legacy
release series.

Currently we have:
nvidia-current
nvidia96xx
nvidia71xx

There are couple of alternative names for the new driver branch:
nvidia173
nvidia173xx
nvidia173.14

I think I'm going to package it as "nvidia173".
It'll be somewhat inconsistent with our pre-existing 96xx and 71xx,
though, but the "xx" are there for historical reasons. I don't think it
would be worth it to rename the old ones to nvidia96 and nvidia71, though.

Any comments?
