--noatime option for 3.1.0

I rebased Nicholas' patch to 3.1.0, with modifications as described below.

One thing I'm not sure is whether the --noatime flag should automatically be
forwarded to the server. In a general backup scenario, the client would wish to
preserve atimes, but on the backup server I see no reason to do so. Therefore I
made the forwarding part a comment. Users can still explicitely include the
--noatime in the list of server arguments if they whish this behaviour on both
ends.

I've been using this form on 3.0.9 for quite some time, and would like to see
this included officially one day soon. I hope setting it to “review=?” the way
I did is the way to go for that.
