Add support for JSON Patch #215

After a quick glance at your code it seems to me that you implemented PATCH the same way like PUT. Would be cool if you would consider implementing JSON Patch in order to allow (better) partial updates.

I'd love to be able to use the same function to talk to json-server which we use for staging as we use for full postgress

It'd be sweet if RFC 7386 was supported too - it's a simpler variant of JSON Patch (RFC 6902).
