nongnu: steam-client: Fix rewriting mesa -> nvda with grafted libx11.

Timo Wilken requested to merge twilk/nonguix:steam-nvidia-rewrite-fixed-mesa into master

This fixes an issue where Steam games would not use the proprietary NVIDIA driver even when started from steam-nvidia. On my system, this leads to drastic performance drops, since games would use the integrated GPU instead of the more powerful discrete GPU.

Without this patch, I assume mesa-fixed is not properly replaced by nvda.

  • nongnu/packages/steam-client.scm (replace-mesa*): New function.
    (steam-nvidia-container): Use new function replace-mesa*.
