Moved distributor instantation to RPC_DATA and daemon.cpp on the server side. Added interval_map to GuidedDistributor for better performance

Moving reads extended log to normal log module.

Update logging.hpp

Added GKFS prefix to CMake options

Catch2 Guided Distributor test

Added creation of /tmp/guided.txt in the test

updated README.MD and protected Distributor for duplicated inserts

Added metadata + data optimization with #

Client now reads host file to determine auto_sm and RPC protocol

Reformatted code w.r.t. unifying code styles as of the official
CPPCoreGuidelines by Stroustrup and Sutter

Restructuring code w.r.t. configurations and definitions:
- #defines have been mostly removed from configurations
- a dedicated config file has been added for configurations with constexpr
- past configure file is now only a cmake wrapper
- wrapping global functions into namespaces

Removed all adafs and ifs occurrences. Now called gkfs

Fixes an issue where client applications such as ssh might attempt to
close all open fds, therefore also closing the fds used by the internal
components of the library such as Mercury.

 - Use regular expression to parse lines
 - More consistent error handling
 - More comprehensive error messages

We now use getaddrinfo syscall instead of parsing /etc/hosts in order to
resolve hostnames

RPC port can now be configured at runtime through `--bind-port` command line argument.

For some comunication layers an out of band communication is required for putting in place the specific protocol handshake.

In those case a shared lookup file could be used to distribute deamon's endpoints information to all the clients.

This file need to resides on a shared filesystem and can be specified using the new CLI parameter `--lookup-file`.

gid and uid metadata fields have never been used and can be removed
safely

If we intercept function during shutdown we could try to access the
internal file map that has been already freed.

This woun't affect performance at runtime since we are always checking
only one boolean flags on every interception as before.

On the other hand should sppedup the shutdown of the library, because we
disable the interception of glibc library call before performing the
shutdown routines.

the functionality wasn't used at all and it will be implemented later
with a different approach

when resolving path we don't want always
to resolve also the last components if it is a link. Cause in some cases
we want exactly the path of that link and not the one it points to.

lstat and readlink are some example of functions that don't want to
resolve the last link.

relativize path now accepts a file descriptor.

If fd is AT_FDCWD relative path need to be considered with respect to
the current working directory. Otherwise the path is relative to the
directory with the given file descriptor

add support for path resolution, this will be used to get canonical path.
