Sets field settings.

Note that the method does not unset existing settings not specified in the incoming $settings array.

For example:

// Given these are the default settings.
$field_definition->getSettings() === [
  'fruit' => 'apple',
  'season' => 'summer',
];
// Change only the 'fruit' setting.
$field_definition->setSettings([
  'fruit' => 'banana',
]);
// The 'season' setting persists unchanged.
$field_definition->getSettings() === [
  'fruit' => 'banana',
  'season' => 'summer',
];

For clarity, it is preferred to use setSetting() if not all available settings are supplied.
