[BUG] fix `get_fitted_params` access to wrapped estimators in `_HeterogenousEnsembleForecaster` descendants
This PR fixes the `get_fitted_params` not yielding access to component forecasters in some descendants of `_HeterogenousEnsembleForecaster` descendants.

The reason was that the `_steps_fitted_attr` was not set, likely because `get_fitted_params` was introduced after some of the affected forecasters.

This is now fixed - also fixes https://github.com/sktime/sktime/issues/7418

+
+    Short description:
+
+    An ``xarray.DataArray`` representing a single time series, where:
+
+    - Each row corresponds to a time point.
+    - Columns represent variables or features.
+    - Coordinates provide additional metadata for the time index and variables.
+
+    Long description:
+
+    The ``xr.DataArray`` :term:``mtype`` is a concrete specification
+    that implements the ``Series`` :term:``scitype``, i.e., the abstract
+    type for time series data.
+
+    An object ``obj: xarray.DataArray`` follows the specification iff:
+
+    * structure convention:
+
+      - ``obj`` is a 2D array-like structure with shape ``(n_timepoints, n_features)``.
+      - ``obj.coords`` must include:
+
+        - A time-like index (``dim_0``) which is either ``Int64Index``, ``RangeIndex``,
+          ``DatetimeIndex``, or ``PeriodIndex``, and it must be monotonic.
+        - A variable-like index (``dim_1``) for feature/variable names (optional).
+
+    * time index:
+
+      - The ``dim_0`` coordinate is interpreted as the time index.
+
+    * time points:
+
+      - Each row of ``obj`` represents a single time point.
+      - Rows with the same ``dim_0`` value correspond to the same time point.
+
+    * variables:
+
+      - Columns represent different variables (or features).
+      - Column names are stored in ``dim_1`` if present.
+
+    * variable names:
+
+      - The variable names are the column names (``dim_1``), if present.
+
+    * metadata:
+
+      - Additional metadata (e.g., attributes) may be included in ``obj.attrs``.
+
+    Capabilities:
+
+    * can represent univariate or multivariate time series
+    * requires equally spaced time points (if time index is specified)
+    * supports missing values
+    * cannot represent series with differing sets of variables

+
+    Uses an ``sklearn`` regressor specified by the ``regressor`` parameter
+    to perform regression on time series values against their corresponding indices,
+    after transformation of the indices with ``SplineTransformer``.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    regressor : sklearn regressor estimator object, default=None
+        Define the regression model type. If not set, defaults to
+        ``sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression``.
+
+    n_knots : int, default=5
+        Number of knots of the splines if ``knots`` is one of {'uniform', 'quantile'}.
+        Must be at least 2. Ignored if ``knots`` is array-like.
+
+    degree : int, default=1
+        Degree of the splines (1 for linear, 2 for quadratic, etc.).
+    n_knots : int, default=4
+        Number of knots for the spline transformation.
+
+    knots : {'uniform', 'quantile'}or array-like of shape (n_knots, n_features),
+        default='uniform'
+        Determines knot positions such that first knot <= features <= last knot.
+
+        - 'uniform': `n_knots` are distributed uniformly between the
+        min and max values of the features.
+        - 'quantile': `n_knots` are distributed uniformly along the quantiles
+        of the features.
+        - array-like: Specifies sorted knot positions, including the boundary knots.
+        Internally, additional knots are added before the first knot and after
+        the last knot based on the spline degree.
+
+    extrapolation : {'error', 'constant', 'linear', 'continue', 'periodic'},
+        default='constant'
+        Determines how to handle values outside the min and max values of the
+        training features:
+
+        - 'error': Raises a ValueError.
+        - 'constant': Uses the spline value at the minimum or maximum feature as
+        constant extrapolation.
+        - 'linear': Applies linear extrapolation.
+        - 'continue': Extrapolates as is (equivalent to `extrapolate=True` in
+        `scipy.interpolate.BSpline`).
+        - 'periodic': Uses periodic splines with a periodicity equal to the distance
+        between the first and last knot, enforcing equal function values and
+        derivatives at these knots.
+
+    with_intercept : bool, default=True
+        If True, includes a feature in which all polynomial powers are
+        zero (i.e., a column of ones, acting as an intercept term in a linear
+        model).
