[FIX] Cell: do not rely on key presence in commands

In our handler of UPDATE_CELL, we rely on the presence of a given key in the command to decide how to process it. However, undefined keys tend to be purged from a payload when serialized, which mean different users do not receive the same command payload and their state ends up diverging.

E.g.:
- Alice write something in A1
- Alice copies an empty cell
- Alice pastes it to A1

For Alice, A1 is empty
for others, A1 content did not change

The same applies to the formats but can only be replicated in later versions (18.0 +):

Alice sees no % in A2 while other users see it.
