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

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in click package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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
