[V4] useFieldArray's update() method validates entire form, including untouched fields

[acicero93]

What happened?

When calling the update() method provided by useFieldArray, form validation is triggered and displays errors for all fields, even those that haven't been touched.

Reproduction steps

1. Create a form context with useForm
2. Add a yup schema to the form with a few required fields, and an array field
3. Create a custom text input component that uses useField. These fields should be required by yup validation
4. Initialize the array field with useFieldArray
5. Call the update method provided by useFieldArray and observe the other required fields fail validation, even though they haven't been touched yet.

NOTE
This seems to be an issue starting since v4.7.1
