In order to make the file-size-update operation atomic it is necessary
to make the following action atomic:

 - READ old size value from rocksDB
 - COMPUTE new size based on the write operation
 - WRITE back the new value rocksDB

We use rocksDB merge operation [1] in order to implement the atomic update.

This commit gives new options regarding separation of metadir and rootdir location. If only rootdir destination is given both metadata and data is stored at the same path

- Previously the directory hierarchy was not clear regarding to which
  file belong to which part of the project (client or daemon).
  Further, we will have other clients in the future (such as Fuse).
- CMake files now differentiate between include dirs for all targets
  and target specific ones.
- Removed duplicate -pg flag.
- Not listing header files when adding executables or libraries
  is considered bad practice. Note that include_directories() is adding
  include paths to the code while adding all files used for executables
  and libraries provide the context which files belong to each binary.
  When only include_directories() is set, CMake assumes that all files
  belong to a binary (which is not necessarily true). As a result,
  some IDEs may break as the do not support this assumption.

  In general we should almost always favor explicitness over implicitness.

Added: register daemon to system for storing auxiliary files + better daemon startup and shutdown handling
