Description

Particularly after #3349, it'll be important to be able to modify Silos.

When we do this, we'll want to be careful about the privilege check we use. The Silo config can confer Fleet-level privileges and we should probably check whether you can ModifyPolicy on the Fleet to change that field.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #3349 and tracing the existing Silo API entry points; this issue names no file or test to begin with. Determine which Silo configuration can be updated and how the ModifyPolicy check on the Fleet should govern privilege-bearing changes. Done means the update behavior and its privilege boundary are clearly defined and verified.
