We already use stat on each file, unless quota_size_regex is set.

If we take Nigel's excellent point that dividing the filesize by the
link count, both from a stat call, does the job - plus document the
point that using quota_size_regex gets quotas wrong in environments
using linking - this would seem to be the minimum possible change.

Does it satisfy enough cases?
