az role definition update - wrong example

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to create and update custom roles. However I’m facing issues when running the update command using a role definition that worked perfectly when creating a custom role. It seems that the example to update a definition is a copy&paste error as it actually uses the create command. Wondering how the role definition needs to look to prevent the following error during an update operation

▶ az role definition update --role-definition roles/keyvault.json
Please provide the unique logic name of an existing role

It is a CLI bug that we are not resolving the role definitions from the assignable scopes correctly. @anoff Sorry for the delay in response. For now the reliable workaround is to delete and recreate the definition before we release the fix
