[keycloak-user] Update the user only with required fields

[Chamantha De Silva]

Hi Stain,

I included a sample scenario as follows, in that I have updated only one field which is "enabled" field. But this is common for rest of the fields and attributes as well. 

1. Before the update (test user's original information):

{
    "id":"c2279ae4-99b7-403c-9ac7-0ff838ff1b83",
    "username":"test-user",
    "enabled":true,
    "totp":false,
    "emailVerified":false,
    "firstName":"test",
    "lastName":"user",
    "email":"test-user at test.com",
    "attributes":{
        "locality":"Redwood city",
        "country":"USA",
        "region":"CA",
        "postal_code":"94065",
        "street":"Holly St"
    },
    "requiredActions":[

    ]
}

2. Update user as following : 
Update user with just one field
API call :  PUT /auth/admin/realms/leapset/users/test-user

Headers :
Accept: application/json
content-type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer TOKEN

Request body : 
{"enabled":false}

After the update fields like email, firstname, lastname are missing 

{
    "id":"c2279ae4-99b7-403c-9ac7-0ff838ff1b83",
    "username":"test-user",
    "enabled":false,
    "totp":false,
    "emailVerified":false,
    "attributes":{
        "locality":"Redwood city",
        "country":"USA",
        "region":"CA",
        "postal_code":"94065",
        "street":"Holly St"
    },
    "requiredActions":[

    ]
}
