When the outer block does a vector.request, the inner kind of has to provide it.
With sink mode in directioned port arrays (#392), the generator would automatically instantiate the vector subports. The subports would be iterable. Requested() would be deprecated.
In source mode, the block must define ports, as currently is the case.
For compatibility, undirectioned mode is treated as source mode. It may still inspect requested().
The vector can still be connected (exported) as a unit, similar to bundle semantics.
