Summarize disk usage of the set of files, recursively for directories.
## Description
`pdu` is a CLI program that renders a graphical chart for disk usages of files and directories, it is a replacement of [`dust`](https://github.com/bootandy/dust) and [`dutree`](https://github.com/nachoparker/dutree).
Both `dust` (v0.5.4) and `dutree` (v0.12.5) do not utilize the parallel computing capability of Rust to improve performance.
