Should `getVersion(program, namespace)` return a VersionMap when called using child namespaces of the versioned namespace?

Description

If a specification is created like this:

```tsp
@versioned(Parent.Versions)
namespace Parent {
@service(#{//service metadata...})
namespace Child {
// ... operations
}
namespace Sibling {
//non-operation type definitions or operation templates
}
}
```

Calling getVersion on namespace `Parent.Child` or `Parent.Sibling` it seems that the set of versions specified in the parent namespace *should* be returned.

Since it is a common pattern for http emitters to look for versioning on the namespace with the `@service` decorator, this could cause some issues for specs constructed in this way.
