[Why] Currently, we will create connectors for all output ports no matter it's connected or not. However, in MST, we can only determine whether an output port really stands for a "connector" till it is connected and check its peer device type as an end device.
In current code, we have chance to create connectors for output ports connected with branch device and these are redundant connectors. e.g. StarTech 1-to-4 DP hub is constructed by internal 2 layer 1-to-2 branch devices. Creating connectors for such internal output ports are redundant. [How] Put constraint on creating connector for connected end device only.
