Issue To Be Solved

Currently, a Flow node expects a bootstrap directory where it finds the private keys and the genesis data both. The private keys cannot be kept separate than the genesis data in a different folder. The Flow node should allow for specifying the private keys and genesis data folder separately to allow for easier key management.
