Make the API more RESTful than RealWorld #172

@yamcodes

Description

@yamcodes

Clear and concise description of the problem

The RealWorld API is not as RESTful as it could be. As an example, updating a user with partial fields is denoted as PUT, whereas in a RESTful API that would be a PATCH.

Suggested solution

Make a list of all items where we could make our endpoints more RESTful. If it's a non-breaking change, implement it immediately. If it's a breaking change to the official RealWorld API, mark the current endpoint as deprecated, and create a new endpoint with our desired change.

Alternative

Don't do it.
