mount-manager: mount notifications get displayed for internal drives of the pinephone (eMMC/SD)

With the release of Phosh 0.7.0 users of Manjaro reported issues with automated mount notifications in several applications, which try to access the file system: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/issues/pinephone/phosh/-/issues/116

Example

  • Whenever a file browsing dialog opens (e.g. on Image Viewer > Open) users keep getting on the top of the screen what seem to look like a small notification with a memory-card icon that reads on the title “Phone Shell” and the second line reads “ROOT_MNJRO” or/and “media-mmcblkXpY” ('mmcblk0' for SD-card and 'mmcblk2' for eMMC)
  • It appears to be that this notification starts popping up every-time a dialog window is used or an application that needs to access the filesystem. For an example a file/folder browsing window, it also happens when using the Calendar application, which is pulling data from the file system
  • It just keep appearing, disappearing and re-appearing constantly, and will not go away until the file browsing dialog gets closed

As a workaround users starting to deactivate automount for eMMC. Based on #460 internal drives should be skipped by default.
