Description

## Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to be able to know the size of my installed containers. If you have many different toolboxes with different configurations like different packages, different distributions and different installed packages it would be good to be able to compare sizes between them.

## Describe the solution you'd like
A column with size when running `toolbox list`.

## Describe alternatives you've considered
A flag to pass to the `toolbox list` command to show sizes.

## Additional information

Related to https://github.com/containers/toolbox/issues/752.
