Add work item batch update function to WorkItemTrackingApi

[csvtuda]

Hey there,

We're currently trying to add a few automated update utilities to our frameworks, for example for automatically setting the automation status of test cases. We know that it is possible to update many work items in a single batch request, as specified here or here. The endpoint also does what it's supposed to do (verified in Postman).

Unfortunately, this neat library does not provide such a method in the WorkItemTrackingApi. There is only a function for updating a single work item and for retrieving work items in a batch request.

Would it be possible to add a function for updating work items in a batch request, as specified in the documentation?
