[Users] GetComponents: Purely local thorns

[Erik Schnetter]

I'm not speaking of GetComponents copying anything -- I have a thorn that is already there, and GetComponents reports errors when I update since this thorn doesn't correspond to anything in the thorn list.

Copying a thorn from a file:// url would also be nice, but isn't urgent.  Maybe wget would handle this already?

We could introduce a new !TYPE called 'file' or 'local', which would direct GetComponents to copy the items to the specified location, or just create a symlink.
