Algorithm/function to update the leaf nodes in the MerkleTree

[AlvinKuruvilla]

First off I want to thank you for making this crate. I had one potential suggestion to improve the crate. I feel that it would be useful to have a helper function that enables a leaf node in a given tree to be updated. I tried looking in the documentation to see if such functionality already existed but I couldn't find anything. My current workaround for this issue is to update the set of leaves and create an entirely new MerkleTree from there, however, this is very wasteful especially when dealing with large leaf counts. Do you have any suggestions for a better way to do something like this, or if a function could be designed to do this?

Hey @AlvinKuruvilla ! Yeah, I was thinking about something like this, just never had the time to add such functionality. I have somewhat limited availability right now, but would look into it a bit later, thanks!

Of course, thanks for getting back to me. If you could give me some direction on how you would go about implementing a feature like this, I could try writing a PR for it
