g_settings_get_child(): inherit backend

Part of the purpose of g_settings_get_child() was that it could be used
after you delay() a GSettings object, and then apply() all of the
settings together.  In order for that to work, we need to share the
backend.

Looks as expected.
I guess you will need to adjust some tests for this now - I pushed a bunch of test coverage work that I've done over the break

No fixups required.

I accidentally tested the commit against the stable branch.  You were right -- this tripped up one of your new tests.  Pushed a fix.
