I often find it would be useful to be able to update a single pod without having to blow away my entire Pods directory and re-running `pod install`.

Some usage scenarios:

* I've just updated the version of a pod in my Podfile.
* I'm using an inline spec or pointing to a Pod file in a git repository and I've just updated it (say to point to a new fork of the project).

I want to be able to run `pod update [podname]` which cleans all artefacts and re-installs that pod.

There would also be a `pod update` command which would update everything.

With this in place, I'd like to see `pod install` only install new pods which should make the process of adding a pod and installing it much faster.
