Do not show low disk space notification for read-only volumes

From https://launchpad.net/bugs/34618: It does not make much sense to display the warning for read-only mounts (which can happen for NTFS partitions, for example). I attach the Ubuntu patch.
Created attachment 61230 [details] [review] patch The patch does two things: - Use statvfs() instead of statfs() since the latter is deprecated (according to the manpage and LSB) and statvfs() additionally tells us mount flags. - Do not notify about low disk space for read-only mounts.
this seems reasonable, but I'd rather not even add a device to the timeout if it is read-only (it's not going to be changing so no sense continuing to sttvfs() it)
fixed in a different way in CVS
