Subject: [PATCH] profiles: steam: whitelist .cache/nvidia (#7114)

Improves launch performance for Team Fortress 2 on legacy OpenGL launch option
and possibly other games.

Went from 100 seconds to launch the game and ~8% cpu usage during launch (~1
core on my machine?) to 60 seconds and ~16% cpu usage (~2 cores).

Apparently the path was changed on 460.27.04 (from `~/.nv/GLCache` to
`~/.cache/nvidia/GLCache`):
