Investigating balderdashy/waterline#964 made me realise that nested updates in the form of
User.update({id: 1 }, { posts: [ { id: 1, title: 'Test post - updated' }] })
works for 1:1 and 1:m associations but breaks for m:n associations. I'm unsure if this is a waterline core issue or something that needs to be dealt in the adapters or both. But it's something we should look into in order to keep the API consistent between associations types: balderdashy/waterline#965.This PR ensures nested updates actually updates the child values and this currently breaks on all official adapters (example). The fix for this issue will have to pass this version of the tests.
