Description

Currently, the merge between different targets (by environment, deploy-type etc) within the same config.json as well as the merge of the app-level config.json and the one of the selected theme is shallow. I'd like the merge to be deep.

Use case

*app/config.json*

{
  "global": {
    "colors": {
      "dark": "red"
      "light": "white"
    }
  },
  "os:ios": {
    "colors": {
      "dark": "blue"
    }
  }
}

*app/themes/mine/config.json*

{
  "os:ios": {
    "colors": {
      "dark": "green"
    }
  }
}

Current result

*Resources/iphone/alloy/CFG.js*

module.exports = {
  "colors": {
    "dark": "green"
  }
};

Desired result

*Resources/iphone/alloy/CFG.js*

module.exports = {
  "colors": {
    "light": "white",
    "dark": "green"
  }
};

Duplicates ALOY-1199

Had to read ALOY-1199 3 times before I saw it, but indeed... Duplicate, but very much wanted.
