In #141, an automatic refresh was requested. This PR adds a command line option where you can specify an interval (using Go's time.Duration syntax) that clears the screen, refreshes the mount information, and displays the new information. Mounts given on the command line are preserved as well.

For example:

$ ./duf --refresh 5s /tmp

outputs:

Fixes: #141

Nice implementation, but I'm still a bit torn on this one. We're basically just re-implementing watch here 😄

Do you see any real benefits to implementing this in duf directly as compared to:

CLICOLOR_FORCE=1 COLORTERM="yes" watch -c duf

I guess the color handling is a bit nicer, because we can ensure RGB rendering. Possibly something we could improve on in termenv however.

Perhaps a way to make it different to just re-implementing watch would be to make it print, only when the data has changed, that way you retain minimal / meaningful scrollback too?
