The metadataDB class was using integer to return errors.
New exceptions classes has been introduced in order to be used as error
propagation method.

In this commit the MetadataDB::get function has been modified in order
to make use of exceptions.

During daemon setup, multiple spdloggers are configured.

Using spdlog::get("<LOGNAME>") is possible to retrieve those and use
them in other part of the code.

Paths are now made relative to the mountdir at client side.

The new relativize_path fucntion in the PreloadContext is used to check
if a path is relative to the pseudo-mount directory and to make it
relative

The new PreloadContext class is used as singleton to store the general context
information of the interception library.

The plan is to move global accessed variables into this sigleton.

At the moment just the logger object has been moved into it.

Metadata::serialize() was appending result instead of ovewriting it.

The new approach is to make serialize function return a new constructed
string instead of accepting a string reference to fill.

The rpc stat handler was the only one calling directly a db function,
bypassing the intermediate adafs_ops interface.

A new function on the adafs_ops interface has been added to be used by
the rpc stat handler.

gflags is needed to compile rocksDB but not to link with it

Setting the properly the JMALLOC_LIBRARIES variable into the find module
made possible to avoid the conditonal inclusion of the library

The creation was performed through a simple rocksDB PUT operation.

Multiple creation attempts on the same file would override the
previously inserted metadata, in particular the file size.

The creation is now handled with a new MergeOperand.
Now a creation attampt on an already existing file will be converted in
a NOP.

The new MergeOperand base class can be subclassed in order to implement
new merge-operands with their specific parameters and semantics.

The UpdateSizeOperand has been renamed IncreaseSizeOperand.

The operand was using three parameters size,offset and append_flag.

Since we only need the (size + offset) sum in order to apply the
operand, the offset field has been removed.

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.

with the current storage back-end, chunks of a file are stored in
several files in a folder on a real kernel-space filesystem.

Removing a file means that we need to remove the entire directory and
all its sub-files (rm -r).
This operation is not atomic and it can raise errors if performed
concurrently..

This commit handles properly this kind of errors.

Use INSTALL_PATH env variable to set rocksDB installtion path instead of using sed hack

CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE already defines "-DNDEBUG" and "-O3".
We set them just to be sure that even in older/newer version of Cmake
they are set correctly

Problem: If one of the donwload task fails the script do not stop and
the other task continue to donwload sources.

Solution: If one of the task fails, print an informative error message
and send a signal to the parent process that kills all the spawned tasks
and exits with error code.
