Config-UI-X wipes out "users" portion of Homebridge-Hue settings when editing Hue settings using Config-UI-X

[powneill]

Describe The Bug:
When using the Config-UI-X UI for editing Homebridge-Hue plugin settings, Config-ui-X wipes out any Homebridge-Hue "users" data.
To Reproduce:
Starting out with a config.json that contains "users" data, Within Config-UI-X UI, click Plug-ins, then click Settings under Homebridge Hue, make any simple change, and click Save. Now view config.json - all settings/data for Hue "users" is gone.. Upon restart of Homebridge, you have to either manually re-enter "users" data, or click the button on all Hue bridges to generate a new user and enter that.

Expected behavior:
Config-UI-X should not remove or corrupt Homebridge-Hue "users" data
Logs:
No error data is written to the log the I can see

Homebridge Config:
Below are before and after versions of my config.json. The only change I made was to exclude "Built In Daylight Sensor"

"User-Defined Keys", are not possible via the UI form generator as the underlying libraries do not support this.
