fix(flags): store setOnce properties in locally persisted feature flag props

[havenbarnes]

Changes

Context: https://posthoghelp.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/24489

Include setOnce properties in the locally persisted feature flag person properties: https://posthog.com/docs/feature-flags/adding-feature-flag-code#automatic-overrides

These are stored in local storage, but only used by feature flags for passing into the /decide call. This means that we should be safe from setOnce properties inadvertently overwriting previous property values.

Checklist

• Tests for new code (see advice on the tests we use)
• Accounted for the impact of any changes across different browsers
• Accounted for backwards compatibility of any changes (no breaking changes in posthog-js!)

PR Summary

This PR modifies the feature flag property persistence in posthog-js to include setOnce properties, ensuring they are stored locally and only used for /decide calls without affecting existing property values.

• Modified identify and setPersonProperties methods in /src/posthog-core.ts to merge userPropertiesToSetOnce with userPropertiesToSet
• Properties are only used for feature flag /decide calls, preventing unintended overwrites of existing values
• Changes maintain backwards compatibility and work consistently across browsers
• Functionality verified through existing feature flag and identify tests in /functional_tests/ and /playwright/
