Fixes #10247: Allow changing selected device/VM when creating a new component (#10312)

* Initial work on #10247

* Continued work on #10247

* Clean up component creation tests

* Move valdiation of replicated field to form

* Clean up ordering of fields in component creation forms

* Omit fieldset header if none

* Clean up ordering of fields in component template creation forms

* View tests should not move component templates to new device type

* Define replication_fields on VMInterfaceCreateForm

* Clean up expandable field help texts

* Update comments

* Update component bulk update forms & views to support new replication fields

* Fix ModularDeviceComponentForm parent class

* Fix bulk creation of VM interfaces (thanks @kkthxbye-code!)
