fix(web): plugin settings form shows schema defaults for unsaved keys (#597)

The server-rendered plugin settings partial rendered straight from the
saved config, so an option added in a plugin update (geochron 1.2.0's
show_date / show_date_line, default true) drew as an unchecked box, and
the save route's missing-checkbox handling then stored it as false.
Enum dropdowns likewise showed their first option instead of the default.

- _load_plugin_config_partial runs the stored section through
  prepare_plugin_config (as GET /plugins/config does) before masking
  secrets, so a secret's schema default is masked too.
- render_field falls back to the field's own default, covering children
  of objects that declare a default of their own (where the defaults
  extraction stops).
- The legacy-boolean parity test now compares against the config the
  plugin actually runs with (defaults included).

the object, posting it back saves, and hot reload hands plugins the same

`schema_manager.prepare_plugin_config` is the one implementation.
- A plugin's settings tab shows schema defaults for options its saved config
doesn't have yet. A boolean added with `"default": true` in a plugin update
(geochron 1.2.0's `show_date` and `show_date_line`) used to render unchecked,
and the next save of that tab stored it as `false`. Enum dropdowns likewise
showed their first option instead of the default. The partial now runs the
stored section through `prepare_plugin_config` like `GET /plugins/config`
(secrets are still masked, after the merge), and the form falls back to a
field's own `default` inside objects that declare a default of their own.
- `scripts/dev_server.py`, `check_plugin.py`, `render_plugin.py` and the plugin
harness build configs the way a device does: nested defaults are included,
a schema `enabled: false` no longer beats the forced `enabled: true` in the
