Update a Brand

Updates a Brand. Send the base_revision you read. Omit the body to keep it. Send null to clear it. The slug changes only when you send a slug: a new name alone never moves the handle. The answer is 409 with error=revision_mismatch if the Brand changed after you read it. It is 409 with error=slug_conflict if another Brand already holds the slug you send.
