Reported by Cliff Wickman.

If the "user" pcp (and/or group "pcp") is already defined then PCP does not
install and run correctly.

We already have $PCP_USER available in the build and at run-time, but this is
not used in any of the installation, *_check and rc scripts where pcp:pcp is
used literally as an argument to chown.

$PCP_GROUP needs to be introduced and used in lieu of the group "pcp".

And finally, we need some (new) way to allow a local administrator to over-ride
the setting for $PCP_USER and $PCP_GROUP both at package installation time and
at run-time.
