Description

__Steps to reproduce:__

1. Jump into the HTTP interface
2. load-data/sources (Data -> Buckets)
3. Create a new bucket with retention policy : 3 weeks
4. Save the current config
5. Go back to this bucket and use the button "settings", new window with "Edit Bucket" should appear
6. Change the "delete data" from "older than 3 weeks" to "never"
7. Confirm the modification
8. Retention is still set to 3 weeks.

__Expected behavior:__
I expect the retention policy was correctly changed since no error was shown

__Actual behavior:__
Retention policy seems to not change to "infinite" from a current set

__Turn arround:__
Edit the retention policy through the CLI (command line)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the bucket retention change in the HTTP interface, then compare the request and response with the CLI behavior described in the issue. Trace the Edit Bucket settings flow and its retention-policy update path; done means changing a bucket from three weeks to never persists and is shown correctly after reopening it.
