 Perform a rolling update of the given ReplicationController.
 
 Replaces the specified controller with new controller, updating one pod at a time to use the
 new PodTemplate. The new-controller.json must specify the same namespace as the
 existing controller and overwrite at least one (common) label in its replicaSelector.
