fix: preserve directory card data

[jwartofsky-yext]

In the Directory component, Heading Text Color and some other fields were being dropped.

These fields were:

Directory Card > Heading Text > color
Directory Card > Address > color
Directory Card > Phone > color
Directory Card > Hours Status > timeFormat
Directory Card > Hours Status > bodyVariant

These fields below were explicitly preserved, and the fields above have been updated to the working pattern.

Already preserved:

Heading: level, align

Address: showRegion, showCountry, showGetDirectionsLink, ctaVariant Phone phoneFormat, includePhoneHyperlink, includeIcon

Hours: dayOfWeekFormat, showDayNames, showCurrentStatus, className

You can see the issue here: https://www.yext.com/s/1911914/yextsites/168074/branches/142516/editor#pageSetId=location-pages-directory-city&locale=en&themeId=nordstrom-new-pages&entityId=2079182808

If you change the color prop and refresh the page, the prop were revert back. If you change a preserved prop like alignment, it will be preserved properly.

Tested with local starter and verified that this fix preserves the fields.

Walkthrough

defaultDirectoryCardSlotData now preserves existing Heading, Address, Phone, and Hours styles before applying fallback values. Tests verify that configured colors, time formats, and body variants persist when seeded directory cards are re-resolved. Local development data adds four Galaxy Grill locations in Arlington. Footer slot documentation now groups image styling options under a single styles object.
