mm_update

Update a Monday Morning entity; the entity discriminator chooses the per-type updater (replaces the deprecated mm_update_task). task identifies the target by spec_path + task_title and requires new_status; quick identifies it by id and takes status and/or priority — an unrecognized field is rejected, not ignored.
