Description
I have some cloud drives mounted using rclone and eza currently gets stuck when trying to calculate folder sizes using `--total-size`. So I suggest adding an option such that if size calculation takes too long for a folder, eza skip size calculation for that folder
eza v0.15.3
Termux 0.118.0 on Android 13

Research direction
Start by locating the Rust implementation of `--total-size` and the folder-size calculation path. Determine how a configurable time limit could apply per folder, then add focused coverage for the timeout behavior and verify that normal size calculation still works.
