Relax component protocol constraint for #1913
This change also relates to #1922. FedRAMP staff have analyzed the progression of this constraint as it pertains FedRAMP's tailored use of NIST SP 800-53 controls customized for FedRAMP processes. Previously, it was believed with a representation of a SSP prior to the "this-system" component construct that limiting the protocol assembly usage to _only_ components of service type was feasible. However, this does not allow homogenous this-system-based SSPs to have the same requirement. Moreover this limits the ability of understandbly different sub-component of components approaches with complex multi-layered architecture to have non-service components document their ports and have it filter up into later transformation and processing by OSCAL-enabled tools. For both reasons, we recommend removing this constraint. Staff reviewed historical documentation and believed this constraint to be an overreach of a previous business rule recommended by FedRAMP staff during collaboration with NIST.
