Previously, the NVIDIA packages were special-cased with a "bring your own license" step, to support the case where a developer building the project might choose the terms of a different license under which to distribute the software or to make it available to end users. With the advent of out-of-tree builds, packages are moving into kits that contain pre-compiled binary RPMs, which means they will always have a header indicating which license applies. This commit makes it explicit what license those RPMs will have at the time they are published. Since the terms of the AWS EULA indicate that the software should be used to develop AMIs for use on AWS, add an install-time requirement for `aws-*` variants.

Description of changes:
Previously, the NVIDIA packages were special-cased with a "bring your own license" step, to support the case where a developer building the project might choose the terms of a different license under which to distribute the software or to make it available to end users.
With the advent of out-of-tree builds, packages are moving into kits that contain pre-compiled binary RPMs, which means they will always have a header indicating which license applies.
This commit makes it explicit what license those RPMs will have at the time they are published.
Since the terms of the AWS EULA indicate that the software should be used to develop AMIs for use on AWS, add an install-time requirement for
aws-*variants.Testing done:
