Screenshot of a List of available media

SUMMARY
List of available media (Ctrl+M) as well as Mountman is a useful tool to show
and manage the mounts of block devices.
But now this dropdown list contains a heap of waste items such as snap, docker,
AppImage volumes and so on.
I guess the algorithm that forms the list of mounted devices has to be
improved.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press Ctrl+M and be horrified.


OBSERVED RESULT
I see almost everything that was exhausted by the `mount` command

EXPECTED RESULT
What List of available media should contain:
Short accurate sorted[!] list of:
  * Partitions of removable block devices [must have]
  * Unmountable partitions of stationary block devices (no "/", "/home",
"/var/*", "/srv/*" partitions) [discussable]
  * MTP/PTP devices (like your mobile phone or camera internal storage)
[desirably]

What List of available media shouldn't contain:
  * Partitions of stationary block devices that can't be unmounted (like "/",
"/home" ).
  * Underlining encrypted devices of the above partitions.
  * Docker's overlays
  * Snap's and AppImage's squashfs mounts

Maybe we will need a Krusader's setting "Show only removable devices" (like
Mountman has) with another called for example "Smart filter" that enables the
filtering described above. This option is a good idea for Mountman as well.
