Subject: [PATCH] test: add child custom-serdes case (3-14)

Adds the 3-14 ChildCustomSerdes conformance case, completing the child
suite (3-1..3-18). The handler uses the SDK's real custom serdes API and
is KNOWN to fail on the current Python SDK (custom serdes not applied:
expected 'HELLO CHILD', got 'hello child'). The red conformance (child)
job is the intended divergence signal, to be resolved by an SDK fix
rather than a test change.
