--- Description ---
Update "-devel" variants to latest New Feature Branch [NFB]
of drivers 590.48.01:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/259269/

Linux counterparts for x11/linux-nvidia-libs:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/259267/


!!! Important note !!!

As already notified by HEADSUP at freebsd-ports ML [1],
this version drops support for a bunch of old GPUs
prior to Turing Generation of the architecture.

Anyone using dropped GPUs need to switch to master ports,
currently at 580.119.02.

Note that once 590 series or later drivers become Production
Branch of drivers, new legacy branch -580 would be created.

See "Appendix A. Supported NVIDIA GPU Products" in README [2]
whether or not your GPU is still supported or not before
upgrading.


While here, update underlying EGL components as below.
  graphics/externalplatform: 1.2.1
  graphics/egl-wayland	   : 1.1.20

And added one more EGL component that Linux version already has.
  graphics/egl-x11

One more EGL component to come in the future if it is tagged
with non-RC number on hopefully next driver ports upgrade.
