Merging Configs with Different Root Node Names Bypasses without Exception

When merging into non-'clickhouse' rooted configuration, configs with different root node name just bypassed without exception. #52770 (Yakov Olkhovskiy).
Improved merging behavior for non-'clickhouse' rooted configuration files to bypass configs with different root node names without throwing exceptions.

Why it matters

Previously, when merging configuration files with root nodes not named 'clickhouse', configurations having different root node names caused issues or exceptions. This change allows such configurations to be bypassed gracefully, improving stability and flexibility when using alternative root nodes in configuration merging.

How to use it

No explicit user action is required. This improvement works automatically when merging configuration files that have root nodes different from 'clickhouse', allowing seamless integration of such configs without errors.
