Change of link suspend state via GNS3-API is only shown in GUI, when node properties are set too

[ghost]

GNS3 version 2.1.4dev1 on Darwin (64-bit) with Python 3.6.4 Qt 5.9.3 and PyQt 5.9.2.

Changing only the link suspend state works (verified by pinging over this link), but is not shown in the GUI:

When the request includes the (unchanged) node properties, the GUI is updated:

Same with packet filters for links (property "filters"). They are updated in the GUI only, when the node properties are set too.

Furthermore the \<project>.gns3 file is not updated, when the node properties are not set as well. Then the changes to "suspend" or "filters" will be lost, when the project closes.
