Mounir IDRASSI 6bef9e009c Linux: refine in-kernel NTFS driver selection
Keep the NTFS kernel-driver option as a generic in-kernel NTFS path rather than an ntfs3-specific path. Add --filesystem=kernel-ntfs and -m kernelntfs routes that select a registered or loadable kernel NTFS driver and mount with -i so mount.ntfs/ntfs-3g helpers are not invoked.

Preserve --filesystem=ntfs3 as a literal pin to the ntfs3 driver. Treat both ntfs3 and kernel-ntfs as mount-only selectors; volume creation continues to use filesystem type NTFS.

The preference and -m kernelntfs path only select an in-kernel NTFS driver when no explicit filesystem type was supplied and blkid detects NTFS.

Treat ntfs as the preferred in-kernel driver on Linux 7.1 and later, where the upstream read/write driver is expected. On earlier kernels, select ntfs only when module metadata identifies the standalone read/write driver and /sys/module confirms it loaded, avoiding ntfs3 read-only ntfs compatibility registrations. Fall back to ntfs3 otherwise, and report a generic kernel-driver error if neither supported driver is available or loadable.

Rename the internal preference/config field to MountNtfsWithKernelDriver, migrate the old MountNtfsWithNtfs3 preference key, and update UI strings, CLI help, documentation, release notes, and translation placeholders accordingly.

Jertzukka 4e112df0d2 Documentation: Remove XHTML spec and fix errors (#1547)
* Documentation: Remove XHTML spec and fix errors
None of the docs follow the XHTML specification, which means
that programs that expect this (such as Gnome Web) as it is advertised
as such, will completely fail to parse it as it is incorrect syntax. So
it is removed.
