docs: POST and PUT body handling (#5319)
## About the changes
While working on Terraform I identified some issues with how our backend
handled some requests. This happened because the Terraform client was
unaware of new fields and was not sending them. This resulted in bad
behavior as some of those missing fields were treated in the backend as
`null` and removed existing data from the DB.

This ADR aims to shed some light on the problem and specifies how our
server should handle these requests.

ADR Overview

Introduction

Architectural decision records are a record of design decisions we have made in the past because we belived they would help our code quality over time. Any ADR can be challenged, but two conditions must be met to change an ADR:

  1. The proposed solution must provide a tangible benefit in terms of code quality.
  2. The benefits of the proposed solution must outweigh the effort of retroactively changing the entire codebase. One such example is the decision to re-write Unleash to TypeScript.

Overarching ADRs

These ADRs describe decisions that concern the entire codebase. They apply to back-end code, front-end code, and code that doesn't neatly fit into either of those categories.

Back-end ADRs

We are in the process of defining ADRs for the back end. At the time of writing we have created the following ADRS:

Front-end ADRs

We have created a set of ADRs to help guide the development of the front end:
