Hemanth V. Alluri ffd2bccd4e openapi: Standardize URL format to use {var_name} syntax.

The previous code for the validator test was fairly messy due to
checking for both formats of the openapi url, one with
<variable_name> and the other with {variable_name}. To eliminate
this, we have standardized the format and restricted it to
{variable_name} as per the official format at:
https://swagger.io/docs/specification/describing-parameters.
