This new flag is already tested by t3310-flags.sh.  It queries the
available flags and tests them all.

$ cd tests
$ make check TESTS=t3310-flags.sh
$ grep automount t3310-flags.log
hidden, legacy_boot, linux-home, no-automount
boot, hidden, legacy_boot, esp, no-automount
swap, hidden, legacy_boot, no-automount
hidden, legacy_boot, no-automount
raid, legacy_boot, no-automount
lvm, legacy_boot, no-automount
...

Posting patch v2 which just renames the flag to no_automount.
