PUT against a collection-valued nav prop

[ashutosh088]

There is a scenario where we need to replace the existing collection of entities (Navigation Property). But looks like it is not supported in WebAPI OData. This is blocking the Likes ingestion to Substrate from Teams and Yammer.

Can you please add the required support as per: http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.01/cs01/part1-protocol/odata-v4.01-cs01-part1-protocol.html#sec_UpdateaCollectionProperty

Thanks

Note that the above references updating a collection-valued (non-navigation) property (i.e., collections of primitive or complex types).

In V4.01 we added support for similar functionality for a collection-valued navigation property, as per http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.01/cs01/part1-protocol/odata-v4.01-cs01-part1-protocol.html#sec_ReplaceallReferencesinaCollectionval.

PUT on the nav property avoids creating an action in this scenario, which is the better API.
