Bug Description

The other files count on the storage page appears to be much larger than it really is, reporting 15 to 2.0 GB on most devices.

The files in .cache and .local should be counted as part of the Used by apps total

Other should subtract the amount used by apps

 property real otherSize: diskSpace -
                             freediskSpace -
                             usedByUbuntu -
                             backendInfo.moviesSize -
                             backendInfo.picturesSize -
                             backendInfo.audioSize
with these changes the counts are correct

Used by Ubuntu varies greatly between devices:
mako shows 5.1 GB
krrilin shows 3.4 GB,
Arale 1 shows 5.4 GB
Arale 2 shows 2.9 GB
