gvdb test: avoid infinite recursion
/gvdb/reader/corrupted/7% was failing when run with random seed R02S2a7b9704dbb5ea704b0d724329af0fbf. This is a fuzz test, and it turns out that this particular seed ended up producing a file that was valid, but contained a self-referential table. The testcase happily recursed though this table's subtable (itself) and so on, until it ran out of stack space, causing a crash. This bug would not impact realworld users of gvdb: these users only ever recurse through tables a finite number of times. For dconf, subtables are not used at all. For GSettings, each schema is a subtable, but from within that subtable we only lookup values.
