Research filesystems options to be usable accross Tails, Windows & MacOS X for Veracrypt

Hi,

Veracrypt interest maybe limited on MacOS X, because of the state of MacOS X NTFS support : even on recent mac os versions its readonly, and steps required to have a read write support may not be userfriendly.

It may be problematic for the filesystem of the veracrypt partition, and may being even more problematic for in case of the use of a container in which case both container file system and the one on which the container is stored, ùay have to be carefully chosen.

It may worth to,

- add a note about it in https://tails.boum.org/doc/encryption_and_privacy/veracrypt/index.en.html#index1h2
- Maybe Investigate if it and how an userfriendly way to have a macos x read/write support could be recommended (maybe out of scope)

[Description will be updated later to clarify]
