Update metadata about sodapy HOT 3 CLOSED

Lolz you guys 😸

I should have time to implement something this weekend. Thanks for the heads up, and I'll let you know if I have any more questions. As always, pull requests are welcomed. If I get to it first though, I will likely ask both of you to review.

Be very careful with the /api/views/$id.json endpoint - there are things you can do by patching that payload that can damage your dataset or visualization configuration. In particular, updates to the metadata key need to be very carefully merged with the existing content in that part of the object, or you can overwrite dataset configuration that also resides there. Its best to make sure you're only PUTting the keys you want to actually update, and leave everything else out.

I've probably been one of those people over the years telling you about our plans to replace this API, as it is my top priority for replacement. However, until I can share more concrete plans with you, you're free to (carefully) use it. Please loop me in if you have any questions whatsoever, and I can make sure you're doing the right things.

With great power comes great responsibility. 😉
