simulate hierachical components

[joamatab]

How can we simulate hierarchical components?

See for example 2 mzis connected to each other

I added an example here

https://github.com/gdsfactory/gdsfactory/blob/master/fixme/circuit_simulations_fixme.py

This was implemented today: sax>=0.8.0.

Note that this is a breaking change. Your notebooks depending on SAX will likely break. But what we get in return is a much better pydantic-based netlist parser and a better circuit resolver.

I'll fix the example notebooks in gdsfactory soon.
