Problem(s) addressed

When Daily backups of MacOS installation are performed to a mounted /Volume/ disk mas will discover these installations as well and perform updates on those application installations. This was added after a percieved bug issue #778 was resolved via PR #779.

In my case I would like to leave my backup volume out of the scope of mas updates so the contents represent exactly what was captured at the time of backup.

Proposed solution(s)

Add a flag to mas cli that scopes all applicable commands to local volume only excluding any mounted volumes.

for example mas upgrade --local-only which would scope the upgrade to the /Applications directory and exclude any /Volumes/*/Applications apps returned.
