Allow partial updates to group data via the local API

[paulpopus]

Current problem

If I have a group fieldset with a few required fields like this:

{
  name: 'pricing',
  type: 'group',
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'price',
      type: 'number',
      required: true,
    },
    {
      name: 'minimumPrice',
      type: 'number',
      required: true,
    },
    {
      name: 'numberOfPurchases',
      type: 'number',
      defaultValue: 0,
      min: 0,
      admin: {
        width: '30%',
        step: 1,
        readOnly: true,
      },
    },
  ],
},

I can't do a partial update of say numberOfPurchases via the local API, as pricing is a whole object I have to add in the previous data if I want to change just one child prop.

Expected

I can do a partial update of the object and the local API can deal with it behind the scenes.

Notes

This is based on the linting TS gives me, so it may well be that functionally a partial update works, I haven't tested that yet, will make a new repo to confirm that functionality.

I believe this has since been implemented!
