Sync vocab in vectors and components sourced in configs (#9335)

Since a component may reference anything in the vocab, share the full
vocab when loading source components and vectors (which will include
`strings` as of #8909).

When loading a source component from a config, save and restore the
vocab state after loading source pipelines, in particular to preserve
the original state without vectors, since `[initialize.vectors]
= null` skips rather than resets the vectors.

The vocab references are not synced for components loaded with
`Language.add_pipe(source=)` because the pipelines are already loaded
and not necessarily with the same vocab. A warning could be added in
`Language.create_pipe_from_source` that it may be necessary to save and
reload before training, but it's a rare enough case that this kind of
warning may be too noisy overall.
