[Bug 1454444] Re: Storage view does not count correctly space used by app

[Sebastien Bacher]

@Ondrej, well, my point is that libclick could provide a function that
does that, it would be a better place because other codebase might have
to get the same information and a common function in the framework used
would make more sense that local implementation in every software

Title:
  Storage view does not count correctly space used by app

  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When going to Settings->About phone -> Storage
  Storage used per app count does not include space used by app in ~/.local/<app>/
  This makes is hard to determine which app is actually eating all the storage.
  It also makes whole list kinda pointless, since we can have easily app easting 1G or more  and never see it in the lis.
  Apps like podcast, browser, twitter can easily eat hundreds of MB without being spotted in the list.

  Expected result:
  space occupied by all is calculated from the size of application itself, plus data used by application under ~/.local/<app>/

  tested on RTM krillin (stable/bq-aquaris.en/krillin) v22
