2526664 - Learning: 1708 Feature - Add and Update User OData API (Admin) to support upserts for Job Location, Organization ID and Job Code ID

You can now call the Add / Modify User API to support upserts for Job Location, Organization ID and Job Code ID even if the ID does not currently exist in LMS. A new property, 'createReferences', controls the ability to allow references to be created via the API. Previously, the API rejected a User Add / Modify if there was a new User Reference for any referenced field.
