[PATCH v2] patman: Fix defaults not propagating to subparsers

[Sean Anderson]

On python 3.8.10 (and 3.10), subparsers are not updated with defaults. I
suspect this is related to [1]. Fix this by explicitly updating
subparsers with settings.

Changes in v2:
- Fix spelling of "propagating" in commit message
- Update comment to more clearly indicate intent
