Description
### How are you using the lua-language-server?
Visual Studio Code Extension (sumneko.lua)
### Which OS are you using?
Windows
### What is the issue affecting?
Libraries
### Expected Behaviour
`Lua.runtime.nonstandardSymbol` from addon's `config.json` should be correctly copied to `.vscode/settings.json`.
### Actual Behaviour
Only the LAST element of the addon's `Lua.runtime.nonstandardSymbol` array is being copied to `.vscode/settings.json` `Lua.runtime.nonstandardSymbol` array.
**Example**:
Input `addon/library/config.json`:
```
{
"name": "BWLua",
"words": ["--bwlua"],
"settings": {
"Lua.runtime.version": "Lua 5.1",
"Lua.runtime.special": {},
"Lua.runtime.builtin": {
"os": "disable",
"package": "disable",
"io": "disable",
"utf8": "disable",
"jit": "disable",
"debug": "disable",
"coroutine": "disable"
},
"Lua.runtime.nonstandardSymbol": ["`", "+=", "-=", "*=", "/=", "^=", "continue"]
}
}
```
Output `.vscode/settings.json`
```
{
"Lua.runtime.nonstandardSymbol": [
"continue"
],
"Lua.runtime.builtin": {
"io": "disable",
"utf8": "disable",
"debug": "disable",
"coroutine": "disable",
"package": "disable",
"os": "disable",
"jit": "disable"
},
"Lua.runtime.version": "Lua 5.1",
"Lua.workspace.library": [
".../LuaAddons/bwlua-language-addon/library"
]
}
````
Expected `"Lua.runtime.nonstandardSymbol"` value is: ```["`", "+=", "-=", "*=", "/=", "^=", "continue"]```
### Reproduction steps
1. Create an addon config at `addon/library/config.json` where `"Lua.runtime.nonstandardSymbol"` has an array with `>1` entries.
2. Enable addon in new workspace.
3. Observe `.vscode/settings.json`.
