Can not call update with a null id

[apparentvisuals]

Steps to reproduce

The services section of Feathers documentations states:

update(id, data, params) -> Promise - replaces the resource identified by id with data. The method should return a Promise with the complete updated resource data. id can also be null when updating multiple records with params.query containing the query criteria.

However, when using feathers-mongoose and calling update(null, data, param) throws

'Not replacing multiple records. Did you mean patch?' exception

Expected behavior

Update call should succeed

Actual behavior

Update call fails with BadRequest

This is by design since there isn't a lot of cases where you want to blow away an entire set of data and replace it with the same data. This is also documented in the database adapter specific API:

Does not allow replacing multiple records (id can't be null).
