Clear contexts and blockedBy on empty-array updates - #2221
Merged

Conversation
The frontmatter deletion pass in removeUnsetMappedFields only removed
the contexts and blockedBy keys when the update held a literal
undefined, which JSON cannot express. HTTP clients sending
PUT {"contexts": []} or {"blockedBy": []} therefore got a 200 with
the previous value silently left in place. Use the same hasOwnProperty
plus empty-array deletion pattern that projects and reminders already
use.
