Components are the building blocks in a Dezyne. They allow composition into bigger components called system components.
A component has a list of ports and optionally a behavior or a system block.
component ::= "component" "{" port+ (behavior | system)? "}"
behavior ::= "behavior" "{" behavior-statement* "}"
system ::= "system" "{" system-statement* "}"
