Merge ~xnox/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform:platform-drop-ntfs-3g into ~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform:jammy

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

paride pointed out that udisks2 now uses ntfs3 kernel driver, which is provided by default by our kernels and it is better than ntfs-3g, which is now obsolete.

Demote ntfs-3g.

[Dan Bungert (dbungert)]

I believe this will break ntfs resizing on Ubiquity, as the ntfsresize binary is in the ntfs-3g package and ubiquity uses ntfsresize.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

This cannot break Ubiquity, because ubiquity package depends on ntfs-3g.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

The question is if we want/need ntfs-3g installed in the target system.

Also majority of laptops come presintalled with bitlocker enabled filesystems by default, which as far as i can tell ntfsresize does not know how to resize.

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

package needs splitting, or just stay as it ships useful tools to _create_ ntfs filesystems.
