DelegateParameter infer methods to find root parameters, instruments, and channels

[samantha-ho]

This PR adds methods to recursively search a chain of DelegateParameters with the aim of finding the root parameter. This also allows users to infer the InstrumentModule or Instrument that a chain of DelegateParameters stems from.

These methods also allow the user to customize which attributes of a Parameter link to other parameters.

While writing tests, I realized there is a possibility for a DelegateParameter "loop" which would cause both get_root_parameter and get_parameter_chain to recurse infinitely.

There are certainly ways I could stop this, but I'm not sure the case is likely enough to bother with at this time. I invite other perspectives on the matter.

I think it’d be useful to prevent the loops or at least error out when loops are discovered because that will be a welcoming and helpful user experience, so I’d encourage to do it
