Enable more flexible environment merging
Since we now support server side merging of environment files, which is good but it only supports the same "last one wins" merge strategy that we previously had in heatclient.
In some situations more flexibility is required, e.g when composing a deployment via multiple environment files where parameter key collisions will occur so add merge strategy interfaces that enable users to define how colliding keys are handled.
