Bug 1078833

Description of problem:
https://pulp-dev-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/integration/rest-api/repo/cud.html#update-an-importer-associated-with-a-repository

Docs say that an importer associated to a repo can be updated, but in case if there is no repository or importer with the specified IDs it will return 404.
Current api in this case returns a call report with 202 response code and the error is visible only in the task information.

}


This behaviour is a bit confusing and maybe it would be better if the update call will directly return 404 like in case with distributor update call:

# curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -X PUT  -k -u admin:admin -d '{ "distributor_config":{"relative_url":"yyy"}}' 'https://example.com/pulp/api/v2/repositories/unexistant_repo/distributors/yum_distributor/'
