Bug 1742994 - Bump required nvidia driver version for HW-WR to 470.82 (i.e. always use EGL), r=aosmond

Browse Source 
We currently require `460.32.03`, however the `460` driver series got
succeeded by `470` LTS one, which supports the same hardware.
Thus all users can (and should) already have updated to `470.82`.
Distros like Ubuntu appear to ship the latest drivers as security
updates to all supported versions.

Bumping the requirement to `470.82` has the great advantage of being
in sync with the required version for EGL, i.e. all Nvidia users
with HW-WR will use EGL by default (minus bugs like bug 1739611).
This solves a couple of Nvidia+GLX related bugs at the price of
downgrading some users with outdated/unsupported drivers to SW-WR.
For these users, SW-WR likely gives a more stable experience anyway.
If they want the performance benefits of HW-WR, all they need to do
is to update their drivers (again, something they should do anyway
for security reasons).
