Fixes form state race conditions. Modifying state while a request is in
flight or while the response is being processed could result in those
changes being overridden.
This was happening for a few reasons:
1. Our merge logic was incorrect. We were disregarding local changes to
state that may have occurred while form state requests are pending. This
was because we were iterating over local state, then while building up
new state, we were ignoring any fields that did not exist in the server
response, like this:
```ts
for (const [path, newFieldState] of Object.entries(existingState)) {
if (!incomingState[path]) {
continue
}
// ...
}
```
To fix this, we need to use local state as the source of truth. Then
when the server state arrives, we need to iterate over _that_. If a
field matches in local state, merge in any new properties. This will
ensure all changes to the underlying state are preserved, including any
potential addition or deletions.
However, this logic breaks down if the server might have created _new_
fields, like when populating array rows. This means they, too, would be
ignored. To get around this, there is a new `addedByServer` property
that flags new fields to ensure they are kept.
This new merge strategy also saves an additional loop over form state.
1. We were merging form state based on a mutable ref. This meant that
changes made within one action cause concurrent actions to have dirty
reads. The fix for this is to merge in an isolated manner by copying
state. This will remove any object references. It is generally not good
practice to mutate state without setting it, anyways, as this causes
mismatches between what is rendered and what is in memory.
1. We were merging server form state directly within an effect, then
replacing state entirely. This meant that if another action took place
at the exact moment in time _after_ merge but _before_ dispatch, the
results of that other action would be completely overridden. The fix for
this is to perform the merge within the reducer itself. This will ensure
that we are working with a trustworthy snapshot of state at the exact
moment in time that the action was invoked, and that React can properly
queue the event within its lifecycle.
