Description

Matomo should implement a diagnostic, checking that tests if its own cache directory has enough disk space left to work. If the disk space runs out while Matomo writes its cachefiles, it might break completely until someone deletes the cache files manually.

See: https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/13143#issuecomment-403374954
