Comment:

 I don't think we have to rip out all of these fields for multisite. With a
 few adjustments, I think we can leave most of this group (which is still
 useful for debugging multisite).

 In my testing, I found that only the primary site will calculate the size
 of the entire uploads directory. Sub sites will calculate the size of only
 their own upload directory (`wp-content/uploads/sites/3`).

 With that in mind, what if we made the following changes for the current
 state:

 - Remove "Total installation size", "Database size", and "WordPress
 Directory Size" for all sites on multisite installs. These possess a high
 likelihood of being too large and the potential for causing "crashing".
 - Hide the "Uploads Directory Size" on the primary site of a network to
 avoid calculating the upload directory sizes for every site, and the
 potential for "crashing".
 - Do not calculate the Theme and Plugin directory sizes for all sites on a
 multisite install. These could be unwieldy for large multisite installs.
 - Leave all other fields as is.

 In the future, I think the following could be added/adjusted for
 multisite:
 - Current site's allowed quota.
 - Percentage or amount of quota used.
 - Site's maximum allowed file size.
 - A way for network administrators to request the sizes of removed
 elements above.
 - A way for a network administrator to view "Network Health".
