D8227: Show total space in status bar's Free Space widget

[Nathaniel Graham]

  I think there are a few root causes for wanting this:
  
  1. it's not obvious how to find the capacity of a disk. There's no Properties menu item when you right-click on a device. You have to find this information at the bottom of the Properties dialog for individual items stored on the disk, which probably isn't what people expect. This is tracked by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181880
  
  2. As mentioned in the bug, the reporter wants this feature to make it easier to tell disks apart, since he has a lot of them. And Dolphin doesn't let you rename disks. This is tracked by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216425
  
  Even if those were addressed (and they should be) IMHO this is still worthwhile if we can address the issue of a lack of space in the bottom bar. I like your space-constrained idea of 3 steps: only space bar, space bar + free, space bar + free + total). I'll see if I can make that happen.
