Update node user

Updates attributes of an existing NSX appliance user. This method
cannot be used to add a new user. Modifiable attributes include the
username, full name of the user, and password. If you specify a password in
a PUT request, it is not returned in the response. Nor is it returned in a
GET request.
The specified password does not meet the following complexity requirements:
- minimum 12 characters in length
- minimum 1 uppercase character
- minimum 1 lowercase character
- minimum 1 numeric character
- minimum 1 special character
- minimum 5 unique characters
- default password complexity rules as enforced by the Linux PAM module
The valid user IDs are: 0, 10000, 10002.
Note that invoking this API does not update any user-related properties of
existing objects in the system and does not modify the username field in existing
audit log entries.
