docs: add missing documentation for fs.StatFs class

- Clarify that bsize is in bytes - Add examples for calculating available space using bsize and bavail - Add examples for calculating free space using bsize and bfree - Add examples for calculating total space using bsize and blocks - Add examples for calculating used file node percentage using files and ffree - Document statfs.type with explanation of magic numbers Fixes #50749
