New command: update list item

Update the specified list item

• command: spo listitem set -w|--webUrl <webUrl> -l|--listId [listId] --listTitle [listTitle] -i|--id <id> -c|--contentType [contentType] --systemUpdate ...
• webUrl: The URL of the site where the list from which to retrieve items is located
• listId: The ID of the list from which to retrieve items
• listTitle: The title of the list from which to retrieve items
• contentType: The name or the ID of the content type to associate with the new item
• systemUpdate: Update the item without updating the modified and modified by fields
• …: this command should allow using unknown properties. Each property corresponds to the list item field that should be set when updating the item. Standard properties such as webUrl, listId, listTitle, option, verbose and debug should be excluded from the SharePoint request
• either listId or listTitle must be specified to retrieve the list, but not both
• requires connection to a SharePoint site

The /items() endpoint requires us to determine the ListItemEntityTypeFullName as per the docs here:

That’s only necessary if you specify the content-type: application/json;odata=verbose request header. If you use content-type: application/json;odata=nometadata instead, you don’t need to specify ListItemEntityTypeFullName.

I agree with you that ideally we should use ValidateUpdateListItem(). Let me check what can be done with regards to documenting the API.

Thanks for the research and detailed findings and I appreciate the effort you put into this 👍
