nixos/x11: default to the modesetting driver
The upstream drivers are very dead: - nouveau: - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-nouveau/-/commits/master - last meaningful change in August 2020 - ati (aka radeon): - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/-/commits/master - last meaningful change in April 2020 - amdgpu: - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-amdgpu/-/commits/master - barely alive, mostly thanks to Valve people Modesetting isn't even the future, it's the now, especially with Wayland. We should embrace it.

- [services.xserver.videoDrivers](options.html#opt-services.xserver.videoDrivers) now defaults to the `modesetting` driver over device-specific ones. The `radeon`, `amdgpu` and `nouveau` drivers are still available, but effectively unmaintained and not recommended for use.
