[Pulp-dev] Settings merge proposal.

[Jeff Ortel]

This issue[1] highlighted a shortcoming in how server.yaml is applied to 
the settings.py.  Mainly that the marge algorithm does not support 
removing unwanted properties such as the logging handlers.  The change 
proposed on #3879 is to replace entire top-level properties (trees) 
instead of the fine-grained merge.  The "logging" section is somewhat 
unique and the original problem has been mitigated by #3883 
<https://pulp.plan.io/issues/3883> which changed the logging default to 
CONSOLE.

Do we still want/need to change the way server.yml is applied to 
settings.py as proposed on #3879?  There are pros/cons to either 
approach and thought it should be discussed before moving forward.
