Add option to skip merging spec files

Introduced a new property `inputSpecRootDirectorySkipMerge` to conditionally skip the merging step of the specification files. Updated the logic to honor this new property, ensuring merging only occurs if it is explicitly not skipped. Enabled configuration via Gradle build file.
