 By creating a child theme, we should be able to change the number of
 Featured Content posts with our own `add_theme_support` call and a
 different `max_posts` argument. Somehow transients are getting in the way.

 To replicate:
 * create and activate a Twenty Fourteen child theme
 * define your own `twentyfourteen_setup` function
 * change `max_posts` to something other than 6 in the `add_theme_support`
 call
 * notice 6 FC posts are still returned
 * comment out L154 and L190 in the parent theme `inc/featured-content.php`
 to disable transients
 * the correct number of posts are now returned
