Create API endpoint to update a Protected Environment

Release notes

In this update, we have added a new endpoint for the protected environments API that lets you update the configuration settings. This is useful for changing who is allowed to deploy and how many approvals are required.

Problem to solve

The Protected Environments API does not have an endpoint to update a Protected Environment. This functionality is useful for changing who's allowed to deploy, or how many approvals are required. The Project Settings UI allows a user to change who's allowed to deploy. For the API, users can work around the lack of an update endpoint by deleting and recreating the Protected Environment that they wish to edit, but this is not ideal.

Proposal

Add a PUT endpoint to the Project and Group-level Protected Environment APIs. Some of the business logic in the ProtectedEnvironmentsController can be reused for the API.
