As discussed in the Discord, this is a preliminary change for being able to support smithy-build.json as input configuration objects; parsing these in a future-proof way is relatively complicated and difficult to support in uPickle without hand-writing the entirety of the parsing logic. Since Circe is already used elsewhere in the project, we replace the uPickle with Circe, including the implementation of creating the smithy-build.json file from settings.
Note that the special requirement of merging two JSON files while concatenating and deduplicating their arrays is not supported out of the box by Circe's deepMerge and still has to be handled manually, but at least the concatenation part has an option issue ( circe/circe#271 )
