#69848: port (r)deps --no-test option is not documented

------------------------+--------------------
In [f1de2b6679e61a83439e16b88e720366808c15ad/macports-base] a `--no-test`
option was added to `port deps` and `port rdeps`. It's not documented in
[https://man.macports.org/port.1.html port(1)] nor in
[https://man.macports.org/port-rdeps.1.html port-rdeps(1)]. The latter
manpage says:
> port deps lists all dependencies of the given port(s), i.e., the ports
> that need to be installed to build or use a port.
>
> port rdeps recursively descends into the dependencies and displays a
> tree of dependencies for a given port.
There is no suggestion here that test dependencies would be included and
it's unexpected that they are.
The `--no-test` option is not documented in this manpage, nor is it
documented in the [https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.deps port deps
section of the Guide]. The Guide doesn't document `port rdeps` at all.
