As others noticed, 0: does work in automate stdio for flag options.

So I've committed new automate inventory options --no-ignored,
--no-unknown, --no-unchanged, with appropriate tests, manual update,
and NEWS entry.

In addition, I fixed/changed automate inventory so it does not recurse
into ignored directories. On my typical workspace, which has compiler
output files in a directory 'objects', that gives a factor of two
increase in speed, as measured from Emacs DVC (that includes the Emacs
processing time, but monotone dominates).

--no-ignored --no-unchanged gives another factor of three increase in
speed.

I don't think there is a use case for having known files in an ignored
directory, but if there is, we can add another option to allow
recursing into ignored directories.
