A placeholder module is a DSL construct, and has the following properties.
- It cannot have any child components or any update blocks (if violated, error thrown at elaboration)
- It must be swapped out using APIs before applying scheduling passes (if violated, error thrown at pass time)
- The DSL support well-defined APIs for any Component. delete_component deletes an existing component and record all the disconnected signal name pairs. add_component adds a component and takes a list of disconnected signal names to fulfill connections. replace_component is the common case where you delete a component and add a new component. These APIs should also be compatible with the placeholder module.
