fs/ntfs3: document ads, nocase, and delalloc
The 'ads', 'nocase', and 'delalloc' mount options are accepted by the parser and reported by ntfs_show_options(), but were never added to the mount option table in the documentation. Document them. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Komarov <almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com>

Kernel. Not to be confused with NTFS ACLs. The option specified as acl
enables support for POSIX ACLs.
+ * - ads
+ - Enable access to alternate data streams, i.e. named $DATA
+ attributes. A stream is addressed by appending a colon and the
+ stream name to the file name. Reading the pseudo-stream
+ ``query_streams`` returns the names of the streams attached to a
+ file, one per line::
+
+ cat file:query_streams # list stream names
+ cat file:ads1 # read a stream
+ touch file:ads2 # create a stream on an existing file
+ rm file:ads1 # remove a stream
+
+ Creating a file together with a stream in a single call, and
+ renaming a stream, are not supported. Enabled by default.
+
+ * - nocase
+ - Perform file name lookups case-insensitively.
+
+ * - delalloc
+ - Delay block allocation for buffered writes until writeback,
+ rather than allocating as each write is issued. This lets the
+ driver allocate larger contiguous runs and reduces fragmentation.

Todo list
=========
- Full journaling support over JBD. Currently journal replaying is supported
