Waldir Pimenta 62d4d4816f du: rework page, add glob matching example (fixes #1032 ) (#1034 )

* fixup: remove excess whitespace

* du: various tweaks

- improve main description (include what "du" stands for)
- simplify globbing example
- unify nomenclature of folder/directory
- minor tweaks to existing descriptions

* du: a bunch of further rewordings

these changes aim to improve both clarity but also the sequence of commands to make it easier to build a mental model of how the tool works.

* osx/du: sync w/ changes in the linux folder

* linux/du: sync w/ changes in the osx folder

* remove slighly redundant «recursively» to make description simpler
