failure to properly update hardware_product_profile values

[karenetheridge]

conch-prod --json h p <uuid> update '{"hardware_product_profile":{"bios_firmware":"4.20.7M"}}' on a hardware product that lacked a profile did not do the right thing -- instead it created an empty profile with bios_firmware='' and rack_unit=0 (!!).

I think this is still outstanding -- failure to be able to update hardware_product or hardware_product_profile values via the shell is leading to operators making updates in the database directly, which causes the audit trail to be lost.

This was filed against conch-shell. Need to confirm that it affects kosh as well otherwise we can just close it.
