Dolphin running on Windows 10 misses xattrs

SUMMARY
Dolphin does not display xattrs in a Windows environment. This is probably a
very niche use case but it could be worth addressing. It is good for KDE apps
to be adding value to the user regardless of the underlying platform.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Format a usb flash drive as NTFS
2. Copy some files to the usb flash drive
3. While in Plasma, using Dolphin, assign xattrs (tags, rating or comment) to
these files. (the NTFS filesystem supports them)
4. Unmount and safely remove the usb flash drive
5. Launch a Windows 10 system and install the latest version of Dolphin
6. Plug in the usb flash drive and check the files
7. Select the "Details View" mode for the folder containing the files

OBSERVED RESULT
There are no xattrs being displayed for these files.

EXPECTED RESULT
xattrs should be displayed for these files.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Tested with the latest nightly build of Dolphin grabbed from:
