The clusters' information cannot be updated via the API/CLI

[Raphaël Badin]

This can be done in the UI but not using the API/CLI.

[Impact]
This bug prevents administrators to be able to update the Cluster Controller information from the CLI. This makes them to only be able to use the WebUI, which is indeed a big limitation.

[Test Case]
1. Install MAAS
2. use maas-cli to update cluster information
(Without the fix, the administrator will be unable to update this information. With the fix, the administrator will be able to do so.)

[Regression Potential]
Minimal. This simply enables the update of the information via the CLI/API.
