Recursively merges own enumerable properties of the source object(s), that
don't resolve to `undefined` into the destination object. Subsequent sources
will overwrite property assignments of previous sources. If a callback is
provided it will be executed to produce the merged values of the destination
and source properties. If the callback returns `undefined` merging will
be handled by the method instead. The callback is bound to `thisArg` and
invoked with two arguments; (objectValue, sourceValue).
