Restores the Pode shared state from a JSON file.

Restore-PodeState [-Path] <String> [-Merge] [[-Depth] <Int16>] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

This function reads a JSON file and restores the Pode server state. It preserves dictionary types (ConcurrentDictionary, Hashtable, OrderedDictionary) and ensures state integrity. If the file does not exist, the function exits silently.

The function supports merging the restored state with the current Pode state or overwriting it entirely.

Restores the Pode state from `state.json`, replacing the current state.

Restore-PodeState -Path './state.json' -Merge
