Serializer fields which are themselves serializers should not be required.
Specifically, if a nested object is set to "required=False", it should be
possible to serialize the main object and have the sub-object set to None/null.
Before this change, a nested field would throw a KeyError
fields.get_component
.The new unit tests will fail without the change and all tests pass with this change.
