Replace docs references to PUT with POST (#14270)
The operations are handled identically, but ~85% of the references were
POST, and having a mix of PUT and POST was a source of questions.

A subsequent commit will update the internal use of "PUT" such as by
the API client and -output-curl-string.

# `/sys/policies/`
The `/sys/policies` endpoints are used to manage ACL, RGP, and EGP policies in Vault.
~> **NOTE**: This endpoint is only available in Vault version 0.9+. Please also note that RGPs and EGPs are Vault Enterprise Premium features and the associated endpoints are not available in Vault Open Source or Vault Enterprise Pro.
## List ACL Policies
This endpoint lists all configured ACL policies.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :------------------ |
| `LIST` | `/sys/policies/acl` |
### Sample Request

-X LIST --header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/policies/acl
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"keys": ["root", "my-policy"]
}
```
## Read ACL Policy
This endpoint retrieves information about the named ACL policy.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :------------------------ |
| `GET` | `/sys/policies/acl/:name` |
### Parameters
- `name` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the name of the policy to retrieve.
This is specified as part of the request URL.
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \
http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/policies/acl/my-policy
```

```json
{
"name": "deploy",
"policy": "path \"secret/foo\" {..."
}
```
## Create/Update ACL Policy
This endpoint adds a new or updates an existing ACL policy. Once a policy is
updated, it takes effect immediately to all associated users.
| Method | Path |
| :----- | :------------------------ |
| `POST` | `/sys/policies/acl/:name` |
### Parameters
- `name` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the name of the policy to create.
This is specified as part of the request URL.
- `policy` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the policy document. This can be
base64-encoded to avoid string escaping.

```json
{
"policy": "path \"secret/foo\" {..."
}
```

$ curl \
--header "X-Vault-Token: ..." \

```
## Delete ACL Policy
This endpoint deletes the ACL policy with the given name. This will immediately
affect all users associated with this policy. (A deleted policy set on a token
acts as an empty policy.)
| Method | Path |
| :------- | :------------------------ |
| `DELETE` | `/sys/policies/acl/:name` |
### Parameters
- `name` `(string: <required>)`  Specifies the name of the policy to delete.

{
"name": "webapp",
"policy": "rule main = {...",
"enforcement_level": "soft-mandatory"
}
```
## Create/Update RGP Policy

## List EGP Policies
This endpoint lists all configured EGP policies. Since EGP policies act on a
path, this endpoint returns two identifiers:
- `keys` contains a mapping of names to associated paths in a format that
`vault list` understands

a more machine-friendly format

characters can denote suffixes, e.g. `secret/*`; a path of `*` will affect
all authenticated and login requests.
