Describe the bug
Documentation here https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/blob/master/SERVE-OPTIONS-v4.md says that to disable live reload you should use --no-live-reload flag but webpack server refuses to accept it.

What is the current behavior?
Error: Unknown option '--no-live-reload'

To Reproduce
Execute the command
webpack serve --no-live-reload

Expected behavior
Webpack dev server should accept the argument provided in the documentation and disable live reload

What is your webpack-dev-server version?

fires3as0n commented 
"webpack": "^5.0.0",
 "webpack-cli": "^4.7.2",
 "webpack-dev-server": "^3.11.2"

I have checked documentation for v3 at: https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/blob/master/SERVE-OPTIONS-v3.md
And it says that for v3 flag should be --liveReload instead
It does not crash when using this flag but still with or without it it still auto realods, thus not working as well.

Please upgrade to webpack-dev-server 4
