Describe the bug

Not sure whether it's a bug, or not supported (the HTTP API docs don't mention metadata patching not being supported, though), or whether I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to update a single metadata_admin field via the identity patch endpoint, but depending on the JSON patch operation I use, I'm either getting an error or the metadata is set to NULL.

Reproducing the bug

1. create an identity with metadata_admin set to {"state_detailed": "active"}
2. PATCH /admin/identities/{id} with this request body:

[
  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/state",
    "value": "inactive"
  },
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/metadata_admin/state_detailed",
    "value": "suspended"
  }
]

This results in the error add operation does not apply: doc is missing path: \"/metadata_admin/state_detailed\": missing value.

On the other, when I run the request with this request body:

[
  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/state",
    "value": "inactive"
  },
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/metadata_admin",
    "value": {
      "state_detailed": "suspended"
    }
  }
]

I'm getting a success respone, but now metadata_admin is NULL in the database (same with replace).
