fix: use statvfs directly for disk space to fix VirtioFS inflation
The sysinfo crate's Disks API multiplies block counts by f_bsize instead
of f_frsize, inflating reported disk space by 256x on VirtioFS mounts
(Docker Desktop) where f_bsize=1MiB but f_frsize=4KiB. This caused the
dashboard to show 231 TiB instead of 927 GiB.

Replace the sysinfo-based disk_space_for_path with direct libc::statvfs
on Unix, correctly using f_frsize for block size calculations. Keep the
sysinfo fallback for non-Unix platforms.
