+- Cleanup to use ntfs_attr_* API for editing $MFTMirr, $Volume, and $LogFile.
+  This has the immediate benefit of enabling attribute list support and making

 * NtfsFix:

-* 2. Truncating $LogFile to zero size gives same result.

-* 3. Zeroing the $Mft and $MftMirr records for $LogFile gives
-*    same result.

-* 4. Now what?!? - Maybe we really need to have a valid $LogFile
-*    which means that we need to know the $LogFile format and the
-*    format for the records in the file. - Argh!
-*
-* 5. YES! - Big thanks to Yuri Per <yu...@ac...> for providing the
-*    solution: Set the contents of the $LogFile to 0xff's which results in
-*    Windows regarding the log as being empty and just starts it again!
