Update an Existing Section, Including Its Rules

Modifies existing PBR section along with its association with rules.
When invoked on a large number of rules, this API is supported only at low
rates of invocation (not more than 2 times per minute). The typical latency
of this API with about 1024 rules is about 15 seconds in a cluster setup.
This API should not be invoked with large payloads at automation speeds.

Instead, to update rule content, use:
PUT /api/v1/pbr/sections/<section-id>/rules/<rule-id>
