Async getData() returns the value of parent node instead of the child node.

Description

Hello!

When I call the async getData() method, it returns the snapshot of the parent, not the actual child.

Reproducing the issue

Create User node and two nodes inside of it: id, name.

• User
  -- id : testId
  -- name: testName

Call: let userId = try! await Database.database().reference().child("User").child("id").getData().value

It returns 2 key-value pairs id="testId", name="testName". But not the id only.

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

This appears to be the same issue as #12168 and #12225.
I have an attempt at a fix here: #12169
But in a comment on #12225 back in February, 2024 @paulb777 mentions that the issue is more involved than what my fix is solving.

We are encountering hard-to-discover bugs related to this issue, and I would love to help fixing it.

@paulb777 Would it at all be possible for you to share your investigations about the extent of this issue, so that myself or others might be able to help fixing the issue?

Thanks for the reply @mortenbekditlevsen
Ok, will wait for the fix, until then will get the whole bundle of data and locally grab the needed fields. Which results in more spendings on Firebase though haha
