Address review: Cloud round-trip + hardening on refreshExtractTriggered

- update() now falls back to subscription.schedule.id when schedule_id
  is None. Fixes Cloud fetch-then-update (schedule_id is always None on
  Cloud inline-schedule responses per #1875), which the property
  docstring recommended but the guard rejected.
- request_factory create_req: replace assert with if-raise so python -O
  and direct-import callers get an actionable error instead of an
  unhelpful ElementTree TypeError.
- Add regression tests: (a) manually-constructed SubscriptionItem
  through update() emits the intended refreshExtractTriggered value,
  and (b) fetch-parse-mutate-update round-trip preserves the flag.
