Document how to update when changing a multiselect base answer (#1781)

* Document how to update when changing a multiselect base answer

The documentation to update, changing only one answer  when the question is a multi-select base choice, is missing.

* style: autoformat with pre-commit

* docs: adapt to global copywriting style

echo "updated_question: my new answer" > /tmp/data-file.yaml
copier update --defaults --data-file /tmp/data-file.yaml
```
!!! note
Due to [issue #1474](https://github.com/copier-org/copier/issues/1474),
it is not yet possible to update a multiselect choice using ˋ--dataˋ.
Use ˋ--data-fileˋ instead for now.
