update-cloud-config does not offer the --named flag

[friegger]

https://bosh.io/docs/cli-v2/#update-cloud-config does not support the --name flag. With this it cannot do everything that update-config can do. As mentioned in cloudfoundry/bosh#2209 (comment) this should actually be the case.

We have created an issue in Pivotal Tracker to manage this:

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

Hey @friegger I agree we should probably add that. It does feel like a good idea so that update-runtime-config and update-cloud-config match. That being said, I don't think update-cloud-config does anything special, so in theory bosh update-config --name NAME --type cloud would achieve the exact same result.

I still see value in this change to help reduce surprises to operators, but not an urgent must have.

Hi I'm currently working on that issue.

The director part: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh/tree/update-cloud-config-with-name-param
The cli part: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/bosh-cli/tree/update-cloud-config-with-name-param

I didn't create PRs so far, since there is some more testing that need to be done
