handle components whose implementation lives in a different file (meta-pytorch#1075)

Summary:

Add support for cases like:
```lang=python
# some_file.py
# ====================
def my_component(...) -> specs.AppDef: ...

# other_file.py
# ====================
from some_file import my_component
```

where the component is invoked with
`torchx run ... other_file.py:my_component`

This was currently failing with a validation error because in the step where we inspect the AST of the component, we assume that the file where the component is being looked up is the same as the file where it is implemented.
