[Bug]: External Storage against BSD ftp server failing due to parsing difference

Bug description

When using external files against an FTP server running BSD (e.g. FreeBSD), the file listing functionality chokes on the output of the directory listing of the FTP server.
BSD ftpd prepends the ls -lgA listing with a line reading "total 123" (arbitrary number).
The parser is prepared to distinguish Windows / Unix, but not to skip over this line and throws an Exception:

Metadata can't be parsed from item 'total 17' , not enough parts.

Server side fixing of this is hard, as it is a built-in function compiled into ftpd and not a call to a bin/ls binary which could be tweaked.
Quick hack modification of the source using $filteredList = array_slice($rawList, 1) confirms that the remainder of the file listing is parsed properly and the expected functionality is available.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set-up a FTP server on FreeBSD or find a public one.
2. Set-up external files in Nextcloud to connect to said FTP server.
3. Browse the folder in the WebUI

Expected behavior

The external files FTP module should be smart enough to handle the output of a BSD ftpd server by checking the first line to be matching ^total.*$ and skipping over it.

Additional info

No response

Start in apps/files_external/lib/Lib/Storage/FtpConnection.php at line 144, where parseUnixItem fails on the BSD ftpd directory-listing header. Review the FTP listing parsing around that entry point and verify handling of a leading total line. Done means browsing a BSD FTP directory works without the metadata parsing exception while normal Unix and Windows listings continue to parse.
