   JIRA: FINERACT-2501
   
   ## Description
   
   According to FINERACT-2501, deduplication numbers in Feign client methods 
are unstable. More on this below.
   
   **The Problem**
   
   Fineract uses Swagger/OpenAPI to auto-generate Feign client methods from our 
endpoints. Since many endpoints share the same method name (e.g., 
retrieveAll()), Swagger appends a deduplication number to create unique 
operationIds. For example, retrieveAll35() for 
SavingsProductsApiResource.retrieveAll().
   
   These deduplication numbers are unstable. When a new endpoint with a 
duplicate name is added, the numbers can shift. In my testing, after adding a 
new dummy retrieveAll() endpoint, retrieveAll35() no longer pointed to 
SavingsProductsApiResource. It actually shifted to retrieveAll36().
   
   Since we hardcode these deduplicated method names in our Cucumber tests, any 
shift will silently call the wrong API, breaking tests.
   
   To start, the currently used Feign methods must be refactored, and the 
endpoints must have operationIds added to them. This is because changes in 
other modules will cause these in use methods to change due to instability. 
This results in build failures.
   
   ## Changes
   
   - added operationIds to all endpoints for Feign methods currently used in 
these
   - changed these first because changing other methods seems to break builds 
since these tests will shift due to items being shifted in the OpenApi spec
   
   The methodology for naming OperationIds is methodName + entityName + 
descriptionClause. For example, update() for SavingsProducts that updates using 
an externalId becomes updateSavingsProductsByExternalId. 
   
   ## More Changes
   
   Certain method names were named improperly. In 
FinancialActivityAccountsApiResource, we have createGLAccount endpoints. 
However, this endpoint actually creates a mapping between a 
FinancialActivityAccount and a GLAccount that already exists. For this case, I 
updated the operationId to be more descriptive on the actual function.
   
   ## Results
   
   All affected tests in integration and Cucumber tests pass.
