Currently, the topic create method does accept an `embed_url` when creating a new topic. This was pointed out to me in [this thread about embedding comments via javascript](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-via-javascript/31963/417). This is not yet in the docs, but I [submitted a PR to add it](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api_docs/pull/26).

This request is to add the `embed_url` to the topic update method as well.

When I started this comment migration project, I was unaware that there was the option of creating a topic and providing an `embed_url` since the docs were wrong. As such, I have several hundred topics created without the `embed_url` and I would now like to set that property on them.

(As a side note, we are on an enterprise hosting plan for the forum in question, so I don’t have the ability to run any rake commands to finish this migration manually)
