Update the body of a note on a merge request. (EXPERIMENTAL)

## Synopsis

Replace the body of an existing note on a merge request.

`<note-id>` is a numeric note ID, not a hex discussion ID.
You can find note IDs with:

- `glab mr note list -F json` (the `.id` field)
- Note URLs: `.../merge_requests/1#note_12345`

You can change only the note body. You cannot move the position of diff notes.

This feature is an experiment and is not ready for production use.
It might be unstable or removed at any time.
For more information, see
<https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/>.
