gh-75988: Fix issues with autospec ignoring wrapped object (#115223)

* set default return value of functional types as _mock_return_value

* added test of wrapping child attributes

* added backward compatibility with explicit return

* added docs on the order of precedence

* added test to check default return_value

+Order of precedence of :attr:`side_effect`, :attr:`return_value` and *wraps*
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The order of their precedence is:
+
+1. :attr:`~Mock.side_effect`
+2. :attr:`~Mock.return_value`
+3. *wraps*
+
+If all three are set, mock will return the value from :attr:`~Mock.side_effect`,
+ignoring :attr:`~Mock.return_value` and the wrapped object altogether. If any
+two are set, the one with the higher precedence will return the value.
+Regardless of the order of which was set first, the order of precedence
+remains unchanged.
+
+    >>> from unittest.mock import Mock
+    >>> class Order:
+    ...     @staticmethod
+    ...     def get_value():
+    ...         return "third"
+    ...
+    >>> order_mock = Mock(spec=Order, wraps=Order)
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.side_effect = ["first"]
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.return_value = "second"
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'first'
+
+As ``None`` is the default value of :attr:`~Mock.side_effect`, if you reassign
+its value back to ``None``, the order of precedence will be checked between
+:attr:`~Mock.return_value` and the wrapped object, ignoring
+:attr:`~Mock.side_effect`.
+
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.side_effect = None
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'second'
+
+If the value being returned by :attr:`~Mock.side_effect` is :data:`DEFAULT`,
+it is ignored and the order of precedence moves to the successor to obtain the
+value to return.
+
+    >>> from unittest.mock import DEFAULT
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.side_effect = [DEFAULT]
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'second'
+
+When :class:`Mock` wraps an object, the default value of
+:attr:`~Mock.return_value` will be :data:`DEFAULT`.
+
+    >>> order_mock = Mock(spec=Order, wraps=Order)
+    >>> order_mock.return_value
+    sentinel.DEFAULT
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.return_value
+    sentinel.DEFAULT
+
+The order of precedence will ignore this value and it will move to the last
+successor which is the wrapped object.
+
+As the real call is being made to the wrapped object, creating an instance of
+this mock will return the real instance of the class. The positional arguments,
+if any, required by the wrapped object must be passed.
+
+    >>> order_mock_instance = order_mock()
+    >>> isinstance(order_mock_instance, Order)
+    True
+    >>> order_mock_instance.get_value()
+    'third'
+
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.return_value = DEFAULT
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'third'
+
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.return_value = "second"
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'second'
+
+But if you assign ``None`` to it, this will not be ignored as it is an
+explicit assignment. So, the order of precedence will not move to the wrapped
+object.
+
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.return_value = None
+    >>> order_mock.get_value() is None
+    True
+
+Even if you set all three at once when initializing the mock, the order of
+precedence remains the same:
+
+    >>> order_mock = Mock(spec=Order, wraps=Order,
+    ...                   **{"get_value.side_effect": ["first"],
+    ...                      "get_value.return_value": "second"}
+    ...                   )
+    ...
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'first'
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.side_effect = None
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'second'
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.return_value = DEFAULT
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'third'
+
+If :attr:`~Mock.side_effect` is exhausted, the order of precedence will not
+cause a value to be obtained from the successors. Instead, ``StopIteration``
+exception is raised.
+
+    >>> order_mock = Mock(spec=Order, wraps=Order)
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.side_effect = ["first side effect value",
+    ...                                     "another side effect value"]
+    >>> order_mock.get_value.return_value = "second"
+
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'first side effect value'
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    'another side effect value'
+
+    >>> order_mock.get_value()
+    Traceback (most recent call last):
+     ...
