While working on prefabs we have a new type of python object that is to be stored in the graph, so it needs to inherit from BaseComponent somehow. The dirty way to do this was to inherit from Controller which doesn't make sens as it is not meant to be actively doing something.
At first I only wanted to make a python class named Component until I realized that it was meaningless without an ability to override handleEvent. Looking at that I realized that BaseContoller is nothing more than a BaseObject. So merging both makes sense.
This PR keeps the old Controller implementation, just replaced the name to Component and added both to the python bindings. Therefore, such as in the actual core of SOFA, we have controllers and components which are basically the same but named differently
