jellyfin: enable NVENC hardware transcoding via Quadro M2000

Browse source 
- Add NVIDIA proprietary driver config to FredOS-Mediaserver hardware
  (Maxwell/GM206, open=false, modesetting enabled, headless)
- Enable hardware.graphics for DRM/KMS infrastructure
- Add jellyfin user to video and render groups for device access

After deploying, enable NVENC in Jellyfin: Dashboard → Playback →
Transcoding → Hardware acceleration: Nvidia NVENC.
