phase-functions.sh: work around du(1) not conforming to POSIX
The POSIX specification clearly states that the output format of the
du(1) utility should be in the following format.
"%d %s\n", <size>, <pathname>
Alas, the prevailing implementations flout this requirement, even where
any of the following conditions hold true:
- POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 is defined in the environment
- STDOUT is something other than a terminal
- the -s option isn't specified
Instead, the offending implementations employ <tab> as a field delimiter.
# du -sk /var/empty | od -tx1 -c
0000000 30 09 2f 76 61 72 2f 65 6d 70 74 79 0a
0 \t / v a r / e m p t y \n
Work around this by stripping from the first occuring [[:blank:]] character.
