Setting mergeConfig breaks scheduler

[buergi]

Just noticed that running the scheduler via sudo -u www-data -g www-data /usr/bin/php bin/grav scheduler fails with

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Grav\Common\Data\Data::merge(): Argument #1 ($data) must be of type array, Grav\Common\Data\Data given, called in /var/www/html/system/src/Grav/Common/Plugins.php on line 273 and defined in /var/www/html/system/src/Grav/Common/Data/Data.php:203

After some debugging I found out that this extension was the problem, to be more specific this line

It overwrites the config with another data type. It would work with appending a ->toArray() after the mergeConfig call, but I'm not sure if this is the correct fix, but seems to work for me for the moment.
