ENH: other join types than 'left' for .update

[maxgrenderjones]

Running 0.15.1

DataFrame.update(other, join='left', overwrite=True, filter_func=None, raise_conflict=False)
    Modify DataFrame in place using non-NA values from passed DataFrame. Aligns on indices

    Parameters :    
    other : DataFrame, or object coercible into a DataFrame
    join : {‘left’, ‘right’, ‘outer’, ‘inner’}, default ‘left’

But..

   3295 
   3296         if not isinstance(other, DataFrame):

NotImplementedError: Only left join is supported

Yes, the docs should better mention that (care to do a PR?)

Or we should implement it of course.
