Add deep-merge feature to backend lookups

- Config option :merge_behavior => :native|:deep|:deeper
- Add optional requirement on deep_merge gem to support
  :deep and :deeper options
- Update Yaml backend to use Backend.merge_answer
- Update Json backend to use Backend.merge_answer
Allow both symbols and strings when deciding behavior of merge_answer
Fix undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass error in yaml_backend_spec.rb

Fix configuration assumptions in yaml backend tests

Without this patch applied the following spec tests are failing.  This
patch fixes the problem by making sure the configuration is initialized
to the default values before running the example group.
