No websocket equivalent of PUT /things/<thing>/actions/<action>/<id> #85

I'm not 100% sure this and #84 are actually needed.

I know the specification says that an action request can be updated with a PUT, but have you come across use cases for this yet? I'm wondering whether action requests should be immutable (by the client) and you should instead send a follow-up action request with the new data?

This also raises some questions about concurrency and about how to create eventual consistency between the server and all clients.

No, I've not yet come across a use case for the PUT. I'd rather just have that removed from the spec, at least for the time being.
