Updates specific fields of an existing task status without requiring all fields.

**What can be updated:**
Any combination of the following (all optional):
- Status name
- Icon
- Status type
- Multilingual translations

**How it works:**
Only provide the fields you want to update. Fields not provided will remain unchanged. This is useful when you only need to update one aspect of a status (e.g., just the icon or just the name).

**Example use cases:**
- Update only the status icon
- Add or update translations without changing other fields
- Change status type while keeping name and icon

**Note:** This endpoint merges provided fields with existing values, unlike PUT which requires all fields.
