[bugfix] Preserve nested subgraph widget values during serialization (#5023)

When saving workflows with nested subgraphs, promoted widget values were not being synchronized back to the subgraph definitions before serialization. This caused widget values to revert to their original defaults when reloading the workflow.

The fix overrides the serialize() method in SubgraphNode to sync promoted widget values to their corresponding widgets in the subgraph definition before serialization occurs.

Fixes the issue where nested subgraph widget values would be lost after save/reload.
