Help: CPackComponent: Sectioning and rewording
* Insert section and subsection headers (because this is a very long
doc page)
* In the Introduction, first say that module is included automatically
* Then start with operational definition of components
* Remove duplications
* Also reword the description of the command cpack_add_component
