16.04 LTS mdadm ignores AUTO -all in mdadm.conf

Bug Description

The mdadm in xenial doesn't respect an AUTO line that is intended to disable anything because it doesn't set the auto_seen flag in autoline() in config.c. At the end of reading the mdadm.conf file it adds a dummy AUTO line just in case there wasn't one. Without the auto_seen flag set, this overrides any disabling of auto assembly.

NB this is fixed in the 3.4 releases after xenial.
