Fix issue with node refs and hydration (#2597)

* Fix issue with node refs and hydration

When a component is contained in a component, the
inner reconciles, which used to replace the NodeRef,
which left a badly linked one in the outer Hydration render state.

Now, keep a stable internal_ref besides the user-passed node_ref.
The internal_ref never gets replaced as long as the BComp lives.
