x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers: emphasise that fbdev=1 is experimental

Console works fine but personally had a poor experience where Xorg
applications were crashing (once) after a mode switch. Imagine
mileage may vary, but nvidia themselves call it experimental.

Untested, but I believe this actually works better with wayland.
