/**
 * helper to deeply merge objects while preserving arrays in earlier source objects
 * deeply nested primitive keys are merged similarly to lodash's defaultsDeep, while keys with arrays of primitives will be preserved if already present in the resultant merged object
 * this prevents default arrays of primitives from appending values to user-defined arrays (this occurs if the default array is longer than the user-defined one).
 * Array of objects gets merged with the defaults, where the defaults can be an array of objects. Closest matching default object from the defaults list based on key - value pair
 * will be used for merging defaults for each object in the array. If no closest match found, first object in default array list used for merging.
 *
 * @method deepMergeWithArrayPrimitiveOverrides
 * @param {Object} initial - target object to merge values into
 * @param {Object[]} sources - other default options to be merged into the resultant object if no explicit value is provided, with earlier args taking precedence over later ones
 *
 * @returns {Object}
