Yorhel 0783d35793 WIP: Experimenting with a rewrite to Zig & a new data model 
The new data model is supposed to solve a few problems with ncdu 1.x's
'struct dir':
- Reduce memory overhead,
- Fix extremely slow counting of hard links in some scenarios
  (issue #121)
- Add support for counting 'shared' data with other directories
  (issue #36)

Quick memory usage comparison of my root directory with ~3.5 million
files (normal / extended mode):

  ncdu 1.15.1:     379M / 451M
  new (unaligned): 145M / 178M
  new (aligned):   155M / 200M

There's still a /lot/ of to-do's left before this is usable, however,
and there's a bunch of issues I haven't really decided on yet, such as
which TUI library to use.

Backporting this data model to the C version of ncdu is also possible,
but somewhat painful. Let's first see how far I get with Zig.

ncdu 1.15.1
===========

DESCRIPTION

  ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) is a curses-based version of
  the well-known 'du', and provides a fast way to see what
  directories are using your disk space.


REQUIREMENTS

  In order to compile and install ncdu, you need to have
  at least...

  - a POSIX-compliant operating system (Linux, BSD, etc)
  - curses libraries and header files


INSTALL

  The usual:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make
    make install

  If you're building directly from the git repository, make sure you have perl
  (or rather, pod2man), pkg-config and GNU autoconf/automake installed, then
  run 'autoreconf -i', and you're ready to continue with the usual ./configure
  and make route.
