Description

We have sites for which we've configured the "MembersCanShare" setting to be true.

When we apply a pnp provisioning tempate in which a "WebSettings" section is included without the MembersCanShare attribute specified, the setting is reset to false.

Our general expected behavior for PnP provisioning engine is not to touch settings/configuration if not explicitly specified

Research direction

Start with the provisioning engine's handling of the WebSettings section and the MembersCanShare schema and API references linked in the issue. Trace what happens when MembersCanShare is omitted, then verify that applying such a template preserves an existing true setting without changing explicitly provided values.
