Alias of api/friendica/photo/update
Saves data for the scales 0-2 to database (see above for scale description). Call adds non-public entries to items table to enable authenticated contacts to comment/like the photo. Client should pay attention to the fact that updated access rights are not transferred to the contacts. i.e. public photos remain publicly visible if they have been commented/liked before setting visibility back to a limited circle. Currently it is best to inform user that updating rights is not the right way to do this, and offer a solution to add photo as a new photo with the new rights instead.
