Composite component (#8952)

A composite is included in the server side hierarchy and in the connector
hierarchy on the client side but does not have its own widget or DOM.

To ensure that captions etc are renderer correctly for the root contents,
the client side connector returns both the widget and state for the content
connector.

Server side API related to width and height are automatically forwarded to
the root component to enable easy use of the composite inside different
layout configurations.

Other server side API inherited from AbstractComponent is unwanted, should be
optional and therefore throw an exception by default.

Resolves #2458
