Sebastiaan van Stijn aace62f6d3 pkg/fileutils: GetTotalUsedFds(): use fast-path for Kernel 6.2 and up ...

Linux 6.2 and up (commit [f1f1f2569901ec5b9d425f2e91c09a0e320768f3][1])
provides a fast path for the number of open files for the process.

From the [Linux docs][2]:

> The number of open files for the process is stored in 'size' member of
> `stat()` output for /proc/<pid>/fd for fast access.

[1]: f1f1f25699
[2]: https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/proc.html#proc-pid-fd-list-of-symlinks-to-open-files

This patch adds a fast-path for Kernels that support this, and falls back
to the slow path if the Size fields is zero.

Comparing on a Fedora 38 (kernel 6.2.9-300.fc38.x86_64):

Before/After:

    go test -bench ^BenchmarkGetTotalUsedFds$ -run ^$ ./pkg/fileutils/
    BenchmarkGetTotalUsedFds        57264     18595 ns/op     408 B/op      10 allocs/op
    BenchmarkGetTotalUsedFds       370392      3271 ns/op      40 B/op       3 allocs/op

Note that the slow path has 1 more file-descriptor, due to the open
file-handle for /proc/<pid>/fd during the calculation.
