SRU Justification

[Impact]

* linux-azure-nvidia has not seen an archive release since 6.14 due to issues with adoption of a released kernel. We do have Ubuntu images containing the linux-azure-nvidia kernel, which is now an EOL kernel. Introduce a transitional package to update users to a supported 7.0 kernel.

[Fix]

* Add linux-azure-nvidia as transitional package on n:linux-azure-7.0 kernel

[Test Plan]

* Tested upgrade path from personal PPA build

[Regression potential]

* No kernel source tree code is modified. Unexpected support in a 7.0 kernel could be encountered, however, 6.14 is quite old and vulnerable to a host of security issues.
