Currently MetaDataMappingService parses the mapping updates, reserializes it and
finally calls MapperService.merge with the serialized mapping. Given that mapping
serialization only writes differences from the default, this is a bit unfair to
parsers since they can't know whether some option has been explicitly set or not.
Furthermore this can cause bugs with metadata fields given that these fields use
existing field types as defaults.
This commit changes MetaDataMappingService to call MapperService.merge with the
original mapping update.
