Update RxDocument patch and incrementalPatch methods to merge the patch into the document using object-deep-merge package.

This prevents an issue that can arise when calling `patch` or `incrementalPatch` with a patch value containing fields deeper that the top level of the document where values will be spliced out if the patch value does not contain a full copy of all fields instead of just the fields being patched.
