Title: JUpdater does not work for components

JUpdater does not work for components if their XML update element did not explicitly include a folder and client_id child node. This is undesirable, because it is always folder="" and client_id=1 for components. The workaround is to set these values as defaults in JUpdaterExtension. Plugins, modules and templates don't have a problem, as they do specify those elements when necessary.
