When pulling an assembly from Silo, the linked component files were not downloaded, causing FreeCAD to report 'Link not restored' errors for every external reference. Add _pull_dependencies() that queries the BOM API to discover child part numbers, then downloads the latest file revision for each child that doesn't already exist locally. Recurses into sub-assemblies. Silo_Pull.Activated() now calls _pull_dependencies() after downloading the assembly file and before opening it, so all PropertyXLink paths resolve correctly.
