Subject: [PATCH] fix: exclude virtual/pseudo filesystems from disk metrics

squashfs loop mounts (snap packages) are always 100% full by design and
were skewing the max disk usage shown in the UI. Now filters the same
set of pseudo-filesystems that 'df' excludes by default, plus any
/dev/loop* devices regardless of fstype.
