Moving to systemstat

[0323pin]

Hi,
Moving to systemstat has issues with portability. Broken build on NetBSD as follows,

   Compiling systemstat v0.1.11
error[E0432]: unresolved import `self::platform::PlatformImpl`
  --> /usr/pkgsrc/wip/starship/work/vendor/systemstat-0.1.11/src/lib.rs:18:9

Some errors have detailed explanations: E0412, E0432.

error: could not compile `systemstat` due to 3 previous errors
*** Error code 101

Supported platforms (roughly ordered by completeness of support):

FreeBSD
Linux
OpenBSD
Windows
macOS
more coming soon

😞

I think memory/swap support for netbsd would be straightforward to implement in systemstat. Furthermore, unimplemented functions return an error in systemstat, so it should also be possible to add a dummy NetBSD implementation that could even re-use some of the implementations with other bsds.

@davidkna Thanks for your reply

Yes, but I haven't done this before and writing it from scratch will take time.
I'll try requesting support with systemstat.

@davidkna Closing this now. A dummy implementation is now in place, should fix it once systemstat gets a new release.
