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.
