What the API does

• Ensures that a post with the supplied postID exists [404].
• Ensures that the uid passed corresponds to that of the found post [403].
• Validates the value of the visibility field passed to make sure that its value is either public, followers, none or one among the accessIDs found in the access_groups field in the record corresponding to that of the uid passed from the profiles collection [400].
• Generates a timestamp for the current date/time.
• Updates the document in the posts collection using the supplied content visibility and/or allow_comments field(s), and uses the generated timestamp value for the modified_on field.
