PowerPoint Web Add-ins: more options for Ribbon API requestUpdate method

Currently, for all Add-ins other than Excel, the Office.ribbon.requestUpdate() method takes in a RibbonUpdaterData object that only allows changes to the enabled or disabled state for Add-in controls. However, even for Excel Add-ins, there is no option to dynamically update the label of a Control, or the option to make a control/command visible or invisible, similar to the tab visibility option for contextual tabs.

We need PowerPoint Web Add-ins to be able to update the label of a control programmatically, after the button has been rendered in the Ribbon. Alternatively, we need the option to change the visibility of a button/control.
