/*
Creates a new manager that will manage the files used for block persistence.
This manager manages the file system FS including
  -- the directory where the files are stored
  -- the individual files where the blocks are stored
  -- the blockfilesInfo which tracks the latest file being persisted to
  -- the index which tracks what block and transaction is in what file
When a new blockfile manager is started (i.e. only on start-up), it checks
if this start-up is the first time the system is coming up or is this a restart
of the system.

The blockfile manager stores blocks of data into a file system.  That file
storage is done by creating sequentially numbered files of a configured size
i.e blockfile_000000, blockfile_000001, etc..

Each transaction in a block is stored with information about the number of
bytes in that transaction
 Adding txLoc [fileSuffixNum=0, offset=3, bytesLength=104] for tx [1:0] to index
 Adding txLoc [fileSuffixNum=0, offset=107, bytesLength=104] for tx [1:1] to index
Each block is stored with the total encoded length of that block as well as the
tx location offsets.

Remember that these steps are only done once at start-up of the system.
At start up a new manager:
  *) Checks if the directory for storing files exists, if not creates the dir
  *) Checks if the key value database exists, if not creates one
       (will create a db dir)
  *) Determines the blockfilesInfo used for storage
		-- Loads from db if exist, if not instantiate a new blockfilesInfo
		-- If blockfilesInfo was loaded from db, compares to FS
		-- If blockfilesInfo and file system are not in sync, syncs blockfilesInfo from FS
  *) Starts a new file writer
		-- truncates file per blockfilesInfo to remove any excess past last block
  *) Determines the index information used to find tx and blocks in
  the file blkstorage
		-- Instantiates a new blockIdxInfo
		-- Loads the index from the db if exists
		-- syncIndex comparing the last block indexed to what is in the FS
		-- If index and file system are not in sync, syncs index from the FS
  *)  Updates blockchain info used by the APIs
