MC-229282Server difficulty does not persist over server restarts
When I execute `/difficulty peaceful` in the console, the difficulty changes but after a server restart it is reset back to easy. I have observed this on the vanilla server JAR as well as on the Spigot server.
As pointed out by Steve Hsu, it just reads the value set in the server.properties file on each launch. However, this is an inconsistency with the integrated server which saves the value.

When the server restarts, it sets the difficulty according to server.properties: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Server.properties#difficulty
I don't think this is the best behaviour. I mean, the command works in single player, so why does the behaviour for the integrated server differ from the dedicated server's behaviour?
Generally, the command should actually change the value and write it back to the server.properties file when it is shutdown, no?
