Add mount buttons for TrueCrypt.

Main problems at this time:

Loop devices have to be created manually on some devices ( issue #16 )
Still unclear whether volumes >2GB can be mounted on all devices - need to hear back from more users ( issue #18 )
Temporary directory is in different places on different devices ( issue #31 )
Permissions need to be set manually on FAT32 volumes ( issue #32 )
NTFS volumes can cause problems ( issue #34 )
No working "mount" command on Google Nexus 7 ( issue #36 )

I would suggest to implement this GUI asap, so that we can have more feedback from users (having the gui available, a lot more users wiuld try TC feature on Android.

I am trying to do this atm, but it would be a lot easier with your help., if you like...

I would add not onl the "mount" button, but also a guided procedure for creating the volumes, like cryptonite does for encfs volumes

You're of course welcome to help. The best place to start would be to see how mounting is done for EncFS volumes.

Highly supportive... Any luck on the Truecrypt GUI?

@neurodroid Sure it's good idea to do this, with a field for place extra Truecrypt mounting options and enforce to use ntfs-3g if NTFS kernel support has been determined.

Just for statistic: TC binary compiled by you (thanks a lot!) works well on SM-N910F (5.1.1) with NTFS (ntfs.ko, ntfs-3g), exFAT (Samsung FW driver), ext4 FS and container about 59GB placed on SDCard. Also it works with few containers with size about 10-100MB placed on internal memory. Paragon NTFS & HFS works a bit slower than ntfs-3g in my case. So I have no problems with TC even during work under TWRP terminal. Hope it will be a bit helpful.
