[FIX] component can be updated while detached from the main DOM

This commit tries to improve the interactions involving unmounted
components, or components mounted in an htmelement which is detached
from the main DOM, and rendering actions.

The main example is mounting a component in detached div, to prepare all
children.  If we just mount the component, it will work as expected: the
full component tree is rendered in memory, and ready to be really
mounted at the desired target.

However, if before doing that, we update the component and call render
on it (for example, with a change in an observed state), then this
rendering will be ignored, and therefore, the full subcomponent tree is
not uptodate.

This commit will also solve another issue in the compatibility layer in
odoo: in the form renderer, we mount components with the adapter in a
div, which is not yet attached to the DOM. We then manually call the
mounted hook when on_attach_callback is called.  This means that before
this commit, any change to the components between the initial rendering
and the call to mounted will be ignored.

As a bonus, this commit has the effect of bringing closer the semantics
of render and mount operations, which is certainly good.
