Support for Bucket.location setter

I was trying to change location of the bucket in Storage, but everything gets updated apart from location. It looks like the data is being sent through API, but are not persisted?

Code example

storage_client = StorageClient()
bucket = storage_client.create_bucket(name)
bucket.storage_class = 'MULTI_REGIONAL'
bucket.location = 'EU' # tried 'eu' as well
bucket.labels = {
     'project': 'etl-transformer',
     'group': 'etl',
}
bucket.patch()

# update_properties printed in _PropertyMixin:patch
{
    'labels': {
        'project': 'etl-transformer',
        'group': 'etl'
    },
    'storageClass': 'MULTI_REGIONAL',
    'location': 'EU'
}

# I checked here even dump in requests package to be sure it's being passed to the http object

# api_reponse
{
    u 'labels': {
      u 'project': u 'etl-transformer',
      u 'group': u 'etl'
    },
    u 'location': u 'US',
    u 'storageClass': u 'MULTI_REGIONAL'
}

I know that documentation doesn’t say that location attribute is a setter, but under the hood it’s a _scalar_property which is appended to changed properties and according to json API, location is writable:

Hi @gastlich,

Could you try the following instead:

# Imports the Google Cloud client library
from google.cloud import storage

# Instantiates a client
storage_client = storage.Client()

# The name for the new bucket
bucket_name = 'bucket-name'

# Create a new bucket object
bucket = storage_client.bucket(bucket_name)

# Set location
bucket.location = "EU"

# Set storage class
bucket.storage_class = "MULTI_REGIONAL"

# Create bucket
bucket.create()
