mount/generators: do not make unit wanted by its device unit

As device units will be reloaded by systemd whenever the corresponding device generates a "changed" event, if the mount unit / cryptsetup service is wanted by its device unit, the former can be restarted by systemd unexpectedly after the user stopped them explicitly. It is not sensible at all and can be considered dangerous. Neither is the behaviour conventional (as `auto` in fstab should only affect behaviour on boot and `mount -a`) or ever documented at all (not even in systemd, see systemd.mount(5) and crypttab(5)).
