Document requirement for `updated` timestamp on statuses when processing Update (#1150) 

After discussion with a new implementer here https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/what-could-be-the-reason-that-my-update-activity-does-not-work/2893, I realized that we don't currently document the need for an `updated` property when processing Update activities. This PR documents that requirement and adds some details about why it exists.
