Manuel Huber 6662ad7069 docs: document block emptyDir overhead
Block-backed emptyDir volumes are sized using the capacity of the host
filesystem rather than Kubernetes sizeLimit. On large filesystems,
ext4 metadata can consume enough space to trigger pod eviction.

Document the expected overhead, its effect on usable storage, current
mitigations, and the issue tracking potential improvements.
