NTFS: Final tidyups of docs, a typo in a deprecated mount option and

version change to 2.0.0, removing the TNG from the name. We want to enter
the kernel now so no need for TNG in the name and the higher major version
number sets off the new driver clearly away from the old driver.

========
- Implementation of NTFS read support functionally equivalent to the old ntfs
driver.
- This is a complete rewrite of the NTFS driver that used to be in the kernel.
This new driver implementats NTFS read support and is functionally equivalent
to the old ntfs driver. And in addition the new driver has full support for
sparse files on NTFS 3.x volumes which the old driver isn't happy with.
- A comparison of the two drivers using:
time find . -type f -exec md5sum "{}" \;
run three times in sequence with each driver (after a reboot) on a 1.4GiB
NTFS partition, showed the new driver to be 20% faster in total time elapsed
(from 9:43 minutes on average down to 7:53). The time spent in user space
was unchanged but the time spent in the kernel was decreased by a factor of
2.5 (from 85 CPU seconds down to 33).
