Added Supported GPUs to README

[balanarayank]

Added section for Supported GPU models. This can be updated going forward. In future, it can be considered to reference a link to a new Nvidia website page that would provide a list of supported GPU models for open kernel modules.

Nice addition. A little nice enhancement would be to state the names as well. I'm have been using a GTX 750 Ti on Linux for 2 years and now a GTX 1060 6GB for about 3-4 years. If you asked me the architecture I couldn't answer that as I'm not that deep into gpus and looking it up is a bit annoying (at least for the consumer-facing gpus).

My Idea would be to adds the series range after the architecture name (e.g. <Architecture Name> (GTX 7xx to GTX/RTX 16xx series) for example).

I agree, but the README would become too large if all the supported GPU models are mentioned here. In my previous message, my intention was to suggest that it's better to have a web page created on Nvidia website/forums that lists all the supported GPU models with their actual names (eg: GeForce 310M, GTX 1060 etc). Once this is created, link to that page can be added to this new section in README. The page can be updated as and when support for a new GPU model is added.

I don't see the problem in length when just mentioning multiple generations to clarify where a potential support cut-off would be. There is no need to mention each and every model explicitly imo.

That seems a nice idea. Does nvidia already have such a page? If not it might be too much to ask then. But I like the idea.

I think such a page would definitely help regular users going forward. They can easily refer to see if their GPU is supported or not. Perhaps someone from Nvidia side would be able to provide more insight into this.

Edit: I noticed that each driver version page has a list of "SUPPORTED PRODUCTS".
Nvidia Driver 470.129.06

I've added supported GPU models as a drop-down menu now.

Thank you everyone for the ideas and examples. We are aware this is an important bit we missed.

These lists actually have to be generated from our internal databases and updated automatically as products are released, which is not something the community can implement. I've tagged it with NV-Triaged.

Yes, thanks for the ideas. We're going to provide a list of compatible GPUs, including PCI IDs, in a future release.

This PR overlaps quite a bit with #18 I'm going to close this PR, and a future release will close that Issue.
