geforce-now: Add nightly
Nightly, it autoupdates itself.
User's config is stored in %localappdata%/NVIDIA Corporation, so it's not 100% portable.
/verify
All changes look good.
Wait for review from human collaborators.

@niheaven Thanks for the info. I thought about that one, but the "build version" is not on the page. This will lead to frequent hash check errors in the future.
I am planning to use our new UpdateTracker to download "first 8 bytes" to check if the file was changed, and track the full version number by downloading the file.


Is it a rare case that increase build version within same minor version? If it is, then manually redownload and hash the package may be simpler.
I recommend closing this pull request if autoupdate feature is impossible to be done. The nature of this app is also not a perfect fit for the Extras bucket to be included.
Per https://github.com/vedantmgoyal2009/vedantmgoyal2009/blob/main/winget-pkgs-automation/packages/n/nvidia.geforcenow.json it is possible to find the newest version for autoupdate. winget has had this package for months now. I do agree that this is a better fit for the games bucket though.
