Fixes: #20875

Several cases were previously missed:

netbox/dcim/models/devices.py - when components are instantiated from the device-template and the denormalized fields were never getting updated.
netbox/dcim/models/modules.py - when creating a module and instantiating components
netbox/dcim/signals.py - when changing the site for a location, when changing the site for a rack

Also checked the API and it looks like the API and this should also affect those. Bulk updates on the API do serializer.save() on each object which will cause the signal handler to run.
