Change a space member's role
Change the role of an EXISTING explicit membership row (404 when there is none). Both ends are bounded by the caller: the new role may only grant permissions they hold, and the member's CURRENT role must be one they could have granted (403 otherwise) — including when changing their own role. A custom_role_id must name a bundle of this organization (404 otherwise).
