bpo-21478: Record calls to parent when autospecced objects are used as child with attach_mock (GH 14688)

* Clear name and parent of mock in autospecced objects used with attach_mock

* Add NEWS entry

* Fix reversed order of comparison

* Test child and standalone function calls

* Use a helper function extracting mock to avoid code duplication and refactor tests.
