Change default settings for automount

Claudius Ellsel requested to merge claudiusellsel/plasma-desktop:patch-1 into master

BUG: 427891 - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427891

There has been some discussion in the bug about possible side effects and downsides of this. Most prominently imho are problems including a user trying to access a drive that was mounted for another simultaneously logged in user. I am rather sure, that while this change makes those problems more likely to happen, since drives get mounted more often for users, the problems are there already and should probably be treated regardless of this change.

The only thing one might argue is that one should treat them first before making the change to not expose more users to the already existing problems.

This change is not tested.

Also it seems like the entry "AutomountUnknownDevices" should be called "AutomountOnlyKnownDevices" instead if I am not mistaken.
