Add documentation and test for subfactory using "factory_parent" attribute
Add documentation on how to use a LazyAttribute in a SubFactory and poke the "factory_parent" attribute to indirectly derive the value of a field on the child factory from a field on the parent factory. This commit adds an example to recipes that explains how it can be done. It also adds a test to make sure that this feature continues to work as is now described in the documentation.

+If the value of a field on the child factory is indirectly derived from a field on the parent factory, you will need to use LazyAttribute and poke the "factory_parent" attribute.
+This time, we want the company owner to live in a country neighboring the country of the company:
