[JENKINS-32041] Disk usage incorrect when custom workspace and build root record directory used

When setting the custom "Workspace Root Directory" and/or "Build Record Root Directory" in Jenkins global "Advanced" settings then the disk usage reported by the Simple Disk Usage Plugin is incorrect (i.e. it does not include these directories)

Since most of the data is stored in the "Workspace Root Directory" and/or "Build Record Root Directory" it would be useful if the disk usage in these areas were reported by the plugin.
