(Node.js) Google People API - Update an Existing Contact

To update an existing contact, you must include the person.metadata.sources.etag field in the person for the contact to be updated to make sure the contact has not changed since your last read.

For more information, see https://developers.google.com/people/v1/contacts#update-an-existing-contact
