Use of wire_names

[csookim]

qibolab already allows selecting target qubits using qubit names str. Circuit.wire_names: list[str] contains these qubit names in qibo. The method for accessing them needs to be updated.

Yes, as you noticed, the str names are already supported at the Platform level.

I confirm that you should just make use of them in the compiler, where you are receiving the Circuit directly from the backend.

sequence, measurement_map = self.compiler.compile(circuit, self.platform)

Once qiboteam/qibo#1500 is merged, all code using _wire_names should be updated.
