Replace Ntfs-3g

[artivision]

Please replace Ntfs-3g with the native kernel Ntfs driver on Linux. Fuse cannot mount Ntfs partitions with the 3G driver and usually fails with a timeout. Its in a miserable state.

You still need ntfs-3g for the userspace mkfs.ntfs command. I think this is something that your distribution has to deal with. On arch linux there is this for example: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ntfsprogs-ntfs3

With that aside, woeusb-ng does not seem to support the read-write flags needed for the mount commands with ntfs3. The following patch seems to solve it temporarily however I ran into #20
