Language specific settings are not language specific anymore when applied to all profiles

[p-rogalski]

Type: Bug

VSCode supports settings, which apply to all profiles. It also has language-specific settings.

Unfortunately, both don't work well together. Consider the following user settings :

"[python]": {
  "editor.formatOnSave": true
},
"workbench.settings.applyToAllProfiles": [
  "editor.formatOnSave"
]

The default Format on save settings for all languages are now set across all profiles. There is no way to set Format on save across all profiles just for Python.
