Updating an existing case using the command line interface

A case in the scout db can be updated after loading. Best practica involves making a new scout load config, and proceeding to upload with scout load case -u my_new_config.yaml, but occasionally a specific attribute can be altered instead with the scout update case command.

Usage: scout update case [OPTIONS] [CASE_ID]
