Using StringTokenizer instead of String.split() in AbstractComponent (#8759)

Avoids wasteful creation and parsing of regular expressions, which are not required here.

+ * This simple test shows the performance difference between the StringTokenizer implementation and the String.split() implementation in AbstractComponent.
+ * Your results will vary.
+ * The real world use case motivating it was a 10k Row table, which generated labels for 10 columns. 
+ * This is 1/10th of what this performance tester demonstrates.
+ * 
+ * Please run with -server and -Xloggc:/tmp/gclog.vgc -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintCompilation
+ * 
+ * My results Win 7 64, i7 2760QM 2.4Ghz, Java 7 21.
+ * 
+ * Proposed Patch with StringTokenizer:
+ * 13 GC activations, 1.009GB allocated memory over time, total time 948ms
+ * 
+ * Current String.split implementation:
+ * 31 GC activations, 2.277 GB allocated memory over time, total time 1557ms
