Title:
  Complete the Additional Drivers implementation

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I've started implementing the design in
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareAndUpdatesSettings#drivers ; devices
  can be listed on systems that require binary drivers, and the new tab
  is there with the basic UI bits.

  What's left to be done:
   - Testing, testing, testing.
   - Figure out what is being done wrong  that causes the crash in comment #2.
   - Make sure the cases for multiple devices (wifi, graphics) all need custom drivers.
   - Update status text below each device on their status.
   - Use real icons provided by the design team
   - Do not label non-graphics devices (like Broadcom wifi) as "Graphics device: ..."
   - Improve driver description (in particular for nvidia cards)
   - Do not enable "Restart.." button and show "you need to restart..." until you actually make a change
