[efi] update the UEFI:NTFS image
* Now use version 1.6 of the EfiFs drivers that enables firmwares that
  don't provide EFI_DEVICE_PATH_TO_TEXT_PROTOCOL to mount NTFS partitions
  regardless.
* Also use the latest version of UEFI:NTFS that displays additional info
  about the system.
* Closes #1213.
* Also update version to Rufus-next.

This directory contains a flat image of the FAT UEFI:NTFS partition added by
Rufus for NTFS and exFAT UEFI boot support.
See https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-ntfs for more details.
This image, which you can mount as FAT filesystem or open in 7-zip, contains
the following data:
o The NTFS and exFAT UEFI drivers from EfiFs (https://github.com/pbatard/efifs).
These are the \EFI\Rufus\[exfat|ntfs]_[ia32|x64|arm|aa64].efi files, which are
identical to the v1.6 EfiFs binaries published at https://efi.akeo.ie.
o The UEFI:NTFS binaries (https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-ntfs), which were
compiled using Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition.
These are the \EFI\Boot\boot[ia32|x64|arm|aa64].efi files.
The FAT partition was created on Debian GNU/Linux using the following commands
dd if=/dev/zero of=uefi-ntfs.img bs=512 count=1024
mkfs.vfat -n UEFI_NTFS uefi-ntfs.img
and then mounting the uefi-ntfs.img image and copying the relevant files.
