class ConfigEntityUpdater
A utility class to make updating configuration entities simple.
Use this in a post update function like so:
// Ensure Taxonomy module installed before trying to update vocabularies.
if (\Drupal::moduleHandler()->moduleExists('taxonomy')) {
  // Update the dependencies of all Vocabulary configuration entities.
  \Drupal::classResolver(ConfigEntityUpdater::class)->update($sandbox, 'taxonomy_vocabulary');
}The number of entities processed in each batch is determined by the 'entity_update_batch_size' setting.

   * Updates configuration entities as part of a Drupal update.

   *   The configuration entity type ID. For example, 'view' or 'vocabulary'.
   *   The calling code should ensure that the entity type exists beforehand
   *   (i.e., by checking that the entity type is defined or that the module
   *   that provides it is installed).
   * @param callable $callback
   *   (optional) A callback to determine if a configuration entity should be
   *   saved. The callback will be passed each entity of the provided type that
   *   exists. The callback should not save an entity itself. Return TRUE to
   *   save an entity. The callback can make changes to an entity. Note that all
   *   changes should comply with schema as an entity's data will not be
   *   validated against schema on save to avoid unexpected errors. If a
   *   callback is not provided, the default behavior is to update the
   *   dependencies if required.
   * @param bool $continue_on_error
   *   Set to TRUE to continue updating if an error has occurred.
   *
   * @see hook_post_update_NAME()
