Add function of updating chunk path by ontape and onbar

add a new feature/function to onbar & ontape, to allow it to update chunk path.

This will be very useful when customers do DB clone/db refresh from a cooked chunk db instance. So after clone/copy, customers just need to update the new chunk path before starting up new db instance.

Currently customers have to run rename restore for db clone or db refresh, if absolute path is used in db chunk.

    Always use symbolic links for chunk paths that way if you need to move the chunk, you just take the engine offline, delete the link, move the chunk, relink the new chunk path to the original link path.
