Description

A new 'Statistics.db' component was added recently, and it is likely that more components will follow. Due to our parsing code using a regex to detect 'orphan' files (rather than a checked type) a bug slipped through that prevents the new component from being detected as an orphan.

To continue to be able to scale the components of SSTables, we should formalize 'Components'.
