Prevent overriding DOMPurify's default config with custom configuration

Dheeraj Joshi requested to merge djadmin-fix-dompurify-configuration into master

What does this MR do?

This MR updates the logic for handling DOMPurify configurations in a way that it always include the default configuration.

Why

With the current implementation, if a configuration is passed to DOMPurify's sanitize fn, it overrides the default config. The default config exists to add defense-in-depth by default, and the existing behavior could lead to cross-site scripting bugs.

Similar implementation can be found for v-safe-html
