Cull children since the script does not mount parents 
I don't thing this is entirely correct but I have no example at hand.
You should be able to create a filesystem on e.g. /dev/sde directly without
creating a partition /dev/sde1 first. So, technically this "parent" without
"children" should be mountable.

Since the script does not consider this. This commit filters for
elements/"parents" without "children".

For most cases this will keep the height of the output smaller not to run into a
curses crash. Not ideal and the curses crashes should get looked at, but for now
this will do to reduce crashes with small windows and large amount or block
devices – thanks snap.

If there is trouble with permissions, then you need to create group storage and add your user to it. Then you need to update your Polkit or PolicyKit permissions like it shown here: https://github.com/coldfix/udiskie/wiki/Permissions
