Remove macOS stats gathering support, require Linux with /procv0.8.4
Remove non-functional macOS monitoring code that used native tools (sysctl, vm_stat, netstat, iostat). Now loadbars exits with an error when attempting local stats gathering on non-Linux systems. macOS can still be used as a client to monitor remote Linux servers via SSH.

This version of loadbars has been tested on:
- Fedora Linux 43 and most modern Linux distributions (RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.)
-- macOS (Darwin) - localhost monitoring uses native macOS tools (sysctl, vm_stat, netstat, iostat)
+- macOS (Darwin) - can connect to remote Linux servers via SSH (local monitoring not supported)
-**Note:** Remote hosts are assumed to be Linux (using /proc filesystem). When running on macOS, localhost monitoring uses macOS-specific commands, while remote hosts use the Linux script. So remote hosts only work with Linux.
+**Note:** Local monitoring requires Linux with /proc filesystem. Remote hosts must be Linux (using /proc filesystem). macOS can be used as a client to monitor remote Linux servers.
