config_for accepts root shared as an array

Fix a bug introduced by
3fe0ab52df
that raised an undefined method when trying to deep merge an array with
an empty config hash

It also adds a test to clarify config_for behaviour with root arrays: when there's
an env array and a shared array, it should only returns the env key (and not a concatenation)

Closes #42698
