profiles: package.mask current nvidia-drivers-580.x versions

Was already planning to not stabilize these versions, but IMO has
too many problems even for ~testing users without explicit opt-in.

NVIDIA is aware and next version should hopefully be better, so
limiting the masks to the current versions.

As noted in the mask message, feel free to unmask if been using it
without problems (does not necessarily affect everyone).

+# While it fixes several issues and is meant to be a stable branch,
+# 580.x has too many regressions in its current state. One of the most
+# prominent one is GTK4 applications hanging on exit when vulkan
+# (default) is used on wayland for many users, some games are also
+# known to have problems with it among other things.
+#
+# Can browse NVIDIA's 580 feedback thread[1] to get an idea.

+# Feel free to unmask if not affected.

 # Outdated version packaged in Gentoo, pending version bump request for
 # over a year, depends on Qt5 but worse, Qt5Script, no signs of upstream
