* [file_utils] spin-off syscall-related file operations
1. Eliminate the potential circular dependency between
persistent-data/block.h and persistent-data/file_utils.h,
if the former one wants to include the latter.
2. Avoid namespace pollution by removing the "using namespace std"
declaration in block.tcc.
3. Correct the header hierarchy: base/xml_utils.h now no longer
depends on the higher-level persistent-data/file_utils.h
* [file_utils] support block files in get_file_length()
persistent-data/data-structures/bloom_filter.cc:10: error: integer constant is too large for 'unsigned long' type

We had a cycle from transaction_manager <-> space_map, and also from
the ref_counters back up to the tm.
This prevented objects being destroyed when various programs exited.
From now on we'll try and only use a shared ptr if ownership is
implied. Otherwise a reference will be used (eg, for up pointers).
