Operating system attributes don't get passed on to child hostgroups

Description
When operating system attributes are set in the base hostgroup, they do not flow down to the children despite displaying when the new hostgroup is being created after the parent is set.
I'm unsure if they should propagate to the child directly. If this happens then when you want to edit a operating system setting for a parent you'd have to do it child by child manually (or we'd have to wipe each child when u edit parent, which would make overrides hard to track). Rather when OS is blank for a child I think we should pull this info from the parent or parent's parent and when set it'd override the parents setting. This'll make it easier to manage the OS setting with a few larger groups rather than child by child while still allowing flexibility to override what the parents settings are.
+1 for not saving it directly to the child host group, but fallback to the parent if not set on child
