O-RU/O-DU Front-haul Recovery (Hello World) rApp not working

• Last week: repeated here for reference
  •  Issue:
    • Endpoint used by rApp (/rests/data/network-topology:network-topology/topology=topology-netconf/node=[O-DU-ID]/yang-ext:mount/o-ran-sc-du-hello-world:network-function/du-to-ru-connection=[O-RU-ID]) is deprecated & will be removed.

    • rApp & test stubs needs to be updated
      • e.g. Python Script version: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=nonrtric.git;a=blob;f=test/usecases/oruclosedlooprecovery/scriptversion/app/main.py
      • Ref: NONRTRIC: O-RU Fronthaul Recovery usecase & NONRTRIC NONRTRIC: Control Loops for O-RU Fronthaul Recovery usecase
