The licensing of boot.c currently makes mkntfs special as it's the only
tool which is subject to the GPL-3 terms.
However, the only GPL-3 bits originally come from a section of the
dosfstools mkfs.fat.c that has been later clarified to be under
public domain:

Reflect this in the ntfs-3g version as well, to let people who have
issues (for whatever reason) with the GPL-3 to use ntfs-3g without
any concern.

The license for using the boot loader which used to be inserted by mkntfs
is unclear, so remove it, and only keep the boot sector restricted to
what is needed for having it recognized as such. The space for a loader
is still reserved so that an operating system being installed can insert
its own loader.
