Find largest dirs (`df/du` replacement) #46

I need to get more than available 18Gb of space for running a GitHub Action. For this I need to clean up some of the pre-installed frameworks, and for that I need to know which subdirs are the biggest space hogs.

tdu (failed) https://bitbucket.org/josephpaul0/tdu/src/master/ - seemed like an ideal solution. but it only shows size for immediate dirs and largest files. And I needed to find largest dirs recursively. The output is still very nice.

It could be even better if I did't forget -human option. I would make it the default and would format option list differently.

du (failed) - full command du -h -d 5 / 2>/dev/null |sort -h | tail -500. I always confuse if with df. The output is a mix of various dirs from various subdirs. Not user friendly.

duf (failed) https://github.com/muesli/duf - gives nice stats about total space, but that's it

**dust** is a winner for now - https://github.com/bootandy/dust
