Libguestfs - Jan 2020 - [PATCH] appliance: Add ntfs-3g-system-compression (RHBZ#1703463).

This package in Fedora enables optional support for Windows 10
"CompactOS" (file-level compression), read-only, which is sufficient
for inspecting Windows guests and doing certain types of modifications
to them.  Virt-v2v appears to work, but it may be that anything that
involves modifying a compressed file might not work.

I couldn't find the equivalent package in Debian or SUSE.  It's
available in Arch AUR although I didn't verify that part of the change
actually works there (but should be safe because supermin ignores
packages that are not known about on the target system).
