ntfs3g: use external FUSE
On Linux, by default, the ntfs-3g binaries attempt to perform mount() by
themselves (through the included libfuse-lite library). Thus, for an
unprivileged user to use ntfs-3g, the binaries must be setuid root. But
Nix clears the setuid bit on everything in the store, so ntfs-3g is
unusable except by root on Linux.
In order to let unprivileged users use ntfs-3g, configure the build to
use the "external" FUSE implementation pkgs.fuse, which arranges for its
own binaries to be setuid root.
An unprivileged user can now nix run nixpkgs#ntfs3g and it should mostly
"just work".
buildInputs is simplified because pkgs.fuse is already a conditional
that picks between macfuse-stubs (on Darwin) and fuse_2 (on Linux).
