Clearing polymorphic relationship by sending null data with PATCH is broken again

[valscion]

The original issue #656 seems to have regressed, as the same error is now raised for a polymorphic association removal.

Started PATCH "/tags/830926030/relationships/taggable" for 127.0.0.1 at 2017-07-05 11:33:31 +0300
Processing by TagsController#update_relationship as HTML
  Parameters: {"data"=>nil, "relationship"=>"taggable", "tag_id"=>"830926030"}
Internal Server Error: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass /Users/vesa/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/jsonapi-resources-0.9.0/lib/jsonapi/request_parser.rb:594:in `parse_update_relationship_operation'

The regression seems to stem from this commit a232243 where operations were reworked to use an operation dispatcher and operation processors.

       if relationship.is_a?(JSONAPI::Relationship::ToOne)
         if relationship.polymorphic?
-          operation_args[1].merge!(
-            key_value: verified_params[:to_one].values[0] && verified_params[:to_one].values[0][:id],
-            key_type: verified_params[:to_one].values[0] && verified_params[:to_one].values[0][:type]
-          )
+          options[:key_value] = verified_params[:to_one].values[0][:id]
+          options[:key_type] = verified_params[:to_one].values[0][:type]

I am not sure how to add tests to ensure this issue does not regress again. Any pointers on how you'd like to have such tests would be nice.

I discovered this issue as I'm adding special handling to jsonapi-authorization gem: venuu/jsonapi-authorization#75

A possible fix is in #1083 and just the failing test case demonstrating this issue is in #1082.

I verified this is still the case in jsonapi-resources v0.9.6.

The test case and possible fix in #1082 and #1083 are now outdated, though. I closed them both as this issue hasn't got any attention.
