* security.h (NTWriteEA): Change prototype.
* ntea.cc (NTReadEA): Don't check for global ntea setting, now
it's caller responsibility.
(NTWriteEA): Ditto.
* path.cc (symlink): If symlink is created on NTFS, store its
value in EA.
(symlink_info::check): Get symlink value from EA.
* path.h: Define SYMLINK_EA_NAME
* security.cc (get_file_attribute): Read attribute from EA only
if 'ntea' is enabled.
(set_file_attribute): Ditto.
