A number of functions in libntfs-3g are generally useful, but are tied to
extended attributes support and are not included when the library is
built on platforms without extended attributes support.
This proposal updates libntfs-3g to always include these functions.
The only tricky part is dealing with the XATTR_CREATE and XATTR_REPLACE
flags. These flags are defined in <sys/xattr.h>, so they must be
redefined on platforms without extended attributes support.

Although ntfs_log_trace() is defined to a no-op in non-DEBUG builds,
ntfs_attr_name_get() is not. This function performs a string conversion
and a memory allocation, so it is nice to have the call to it compiled
out when not needed.

It was possible for ntfs_attr_name_get() to set errno due to a wide
character string that could not be converted to a multibyte string. This
caused ntfs_delete() to fail.
Fix by checking for a nonzero return value specifically from
ntfs_attr_lookup(), rather than assuming that nothing else sets errno.

Switch to the standard autoconf AC_HEADER_MAJOR macro which takes care
of the ugly details like when to use mkdev.h and when to use sysmacros.h.
(requires <sys/types.h> to be included)
Also include these in all files that use major/minor/makedev funcs.

On Solaris/OpenIndiana, use the macroes makedev(), major() and minor()
from <sys/mkdev.h>. Those from <sys/sysmacros.h> are inappropriate for
current builds.
User extended attributes should only be set on files and directories,
not on symlinks, sockets, devices, etc. For safety they are also
forbidden on metadata files, but should be allowed on the root
directory. For files based on reparse points, requests are made
to the plugin to determine the type.
Some constraints put on reparse points of unknown type (e.g. they cannot
be deleted) are not acceptable to archivers. This patch removes some
constraints.
Windows applies legacy restrictions to file names, so when the option
windows_names is applied, reject the same reserved names, which are
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1..COM9, and LPT1..LPT9
- Replaced 'ntfschar*' parameters with 'const ntfschar*' where
appropriate (the function does not need to modify the string).
- Replaced some instances of 'u8*' and 'char*' read-only buffer
arguments with 'const u8*' and 'const char*'.
As the path passed to ntfs-3g for getxattr(2)/setxattr(2) are not
guaranteed to be the one mentioned by the caller when there are hard links,
getting/setting DOS names have to be discontinued in that situation.
Getting/setting DOS names is still possible when there is a single
non-DOS name.
The type of special files (symlinks, fifos, etc.) was not returned in
readdir() and they appeared wrongly in the field d_type of "struct dirent".
This prevented some applications which relied on d_type (which does
not exist in Solaris) from navigating in an NTFS tree.
When the hide_dot_files option is set, a file is marked hidden if the
first character in its name is a dot. This patch updates the hidden flag
when the file is renamed or hard linked (useful for text editors which
create files with a temporary name)
When a file is deleted, there is no need to remove its last name in
the deleted MFT record. The name may be useful for undeleting the file
later (Windows also does not delete the name).
When the cluster size is bigger than the index block size, the index
block size unit is 512 (not the sector size) instead of the cluster size.
The partitions formatted by mkntfs and used by ntfs-3g were not
interoperable with Windows when the cluster size is bigger than 4K
and the sector size is not 512.
