Add ntfs-3g to default installs #1885

Description

@YaLTeR

The concrete issue that I've hit is that the kernel ntfs3 driver doesn't support NTFS symlinks, breaking some stuff in a proton Steam game installed on an NTFS external drive.

On Fedora, ntfs-3g is installed by default, and NTFS drives mount with ntfs-3g, and everything works fine.

On Aeryn, I manually installed ntfs-3g and observed the following:

  1. mount.ntfs-3g is broken for some reason, always failing with fuse: unknown option `'
  2. mount.lowntfs-3g seems to work fine, and fixed my Steam problem.

Expected behavior: out of the box, NTFS external drives mentioned in /etc/fstab with an auto filesystem mount as ntfs-3g instead of ntfs3.
