Philip Withnall 0b3eeb1547 sd-json: Fix validation of optional fields within a mandatory struct
If a varlink method takes a struct/object as a parameter, and it’s
marked as `SD_JSON_MANDATORY`, and it has an optional field inside it
which is *not* marked as `SD_JSON_MANDATORY`, we want to not require
that field to be set.

Previously, due to using the `merged_flags` from both the mandatory
struct and the optional field, `SD_JSON_MANDATORY` was effectively
always set on the optional field even if we didn’t want it. This
resulted in an error being emitted if the mandatory struct was provided
in a varlink call, but without the optional field.

Fix that by validating the field’s presence only against its own flags
and not also the flags of its parent.

Adds a unit test to prevent regressions.
