Update Deployment status

PATCH /api/releases/<project_name>/environments/<env_name>/deployments

Update the status of the Deployment once it's created. If a Deployment doesn't already exist for the given Release Candidate version and the Environment, a new deployment is also created.

This can be used for a custom CD pipeline to send the deployment status to Aviator.

This method does not trigger the configured deployment workflow.

status	string	Possible values: - pending - in_progress - failure - canceling - canceled - unknown

If successful, HTTP 200 response is returned back. The API returns a 200 response even when a new deployment is created.
