mount: use auto-loopdev for all known filesystems
The commit e580266914734898999f652025f9c7141023df66 introduced
"automatically detect and loop-mount regular files". This should be
used only for filesystems that require block devices.
All known filesystems in libblkid depend block devices, so we can
use blkid_known_fstype() as a filter for this feature.
