The merging of on disk values using deepmerge is bogus.

Instead we'll completely overwrite the file. This should be fine as the PluginsKeyValueStorage singleton is shared across all plugin host processes, meaning there shouldn't be a risk for a race condition to corrupt the file being written on disk.

Note that there is still a race condition risk when multiple Theia backends are running on the same host, but odds should be low.
