Extend the mca_component_path param usage by allowing a user to add paths to the default system and user ones defined in the program. Thus, the user can specify a param value of:

"my_perfect_path":SYSTEM_DEFAULT:USER_DEFAULT

and OPAL will substitute its internally derived values for the defaults (instead of forcing the user to figure them out).
