engine: should be respected globally at the _quarto.yml level

[jthomasmock]

Bug description

In the _quarto.yml file, setting engine: knitr or any variants (jupyter: python3, etc) should apply as the default for any files unless modified in the subsequent file's YAML.

On M1 Pro Mac running MacOS Monteray.

Using RStudio Version 2022.12.0-preview+303 (2022.12.0-preview+303)

Quarto v1.2.242

Reprex:

1. Create a project

quarto create-project test-engine

2. Set engine: knitr in the _quarto.yml

project:
  type: website

website:
  title: "test-engine"
  navbar:
    left:
      - href: index.qmd
        text: Home
      - about.qmd

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
    css: styles.css
    toc: true

engine: knitr #<- this is the change

2. Change a chunk in the index.qmd to python:

```{python}
1+1
```

3. quarto render

The render of index.qmd is executed within a Jupyter kernel instead of knitr + reticulate even with the engine: knitr set at global/_quarto.yml level.

The correct behavior would be to use knitr since that is set at the global level.
