replace the FolderStorage with DiskStorage

- The DiskStorage uses only one file instead of millions.
  Also the block size is only 512 byte instead of 4kb, which
  helps to reduce the memory usage for short sequences.
- Update primitiveCollections to get the new LongList.range
  and LongList.rangeClosed methods.
- BSFile now stores Time&Value sequences and knows how to
  encode the time values with delta encoding.
- Doc had to do some magic tricks to save memory. The path
  was initialized lazy and stored as byte array. This is no
  longer necessary. The patch was replaced by the
  rootBlockNumber of the BSFile.
- Had to temporarily disable the 'in' queries.
- The stored values are now processed as stream of LongLists
  instead of Entry. The overhead for creating Entries is
  gone, so is the memory overhead, because Entry was an
  object and had a reference to the tags, which is
  unnecessary.

 /**
- * File format description:
- * <p>
- * We store non-negative long values for epoch milli and a measurement (usually
- * duration in ms). Both values are stored as pairs, so that we get
- * date-measurement-date-measurement-date... . The date values are stored as
- * difference to the previous date. Every few kilobytes we add an absolute
- * offset, so that we can synchronize and don't have to read the whole file when
- * we want to append.
  *
- * <p>
- * For example we want to store the following values:
- *
- * <pre>
- * 2009-02-45T12:31:30.30+0100 123 the date is 1234567890 in epoch millis
- * 2009-02-45T01:06:39.39+0100 456 the date is 1234569999 in epoch millis
- * </pre>
- * <p>
- * We would first store the offset 1234567890, then die first pair. The date is
- * stored as the offset to the last value (which was the offset), so it is 0.
- * Then we store the measurement. Next we store the second pair. The date
- * difference is 2109 and the measurement is 456.
- * <p>
- * Each value is stored with a variable length byte sequence. The idea is
- * similar to the encoding of UTF-8. But we differentiate between several
- * different types of values.
- * <ol>
- * <li>version, start with 000001
- * <li>number of entries up until this point in this file, 00001
- * <li>date offsets with absolute values for epoch milli, start with 0001
- * <li>date increments to the previous date value, start with 01
- * <li>measurements, start with 001
- * <li>continuation bytes, start with 1
- * </ol>
- *
- * This is different from UTF-8. We do not encode the number of continuation
- * bytes. Therefore we loose UTF-8's self validation feature and we cannot skip
- * to the next value without reading all continuation bytes. But it is a little
- * bit more efficient, because each continuation byte can store 7 bit instead of
- * 6. A four byte sequence in UTF-8 can store 21 bits whereas a four byte
- * sequence in this scheme stores 27 bits for values and 26 bits for date
- * increments. But it is not as efficent for one byte sequences. On the other
- * hand we also encode five different value types.
- * <p>
- * The encoding looks as follows:
- * <p>
- * The first byte starts with 00001 for meta-data. The three remaining bits are
- * used for the version number. 001 in our case. So the first byte looks like
- * this. 00001001
- * <p>
- * The second byte starts with 0001 for date offsets, 01 for date increments and
- * 001 for measurements. All continuation bytes start with 1. E.g. The
- * measurement 202 has the unsigned bit representation 11001010. The first byte
- * of a measurement value starts with 001, so we have room for the first 5 bits.
- * But we need 8 bits. So we must add another byte. The second byte starts with
- * 1 and has room for 7 bits. The result looks like this: <b>001</b><i>00001<i>
- * <b>1</b><i>1001010</i>
