nixos docs: improve GPU driver documentation

I'm not 100% sure about the incompatibility lines,
but I believe it's better to discourage these anyway.
If you find better information, feel free to amend...

The 32-bit thing is completely GPU-agnostic, so I can't see why we had
it separately for proprietary drivers and missing for the rest.
