Reference to Existing Issue

Closes #682 .

Description of Changes

This PR fixes a 500 Internal Server Error caused by an incorrect NoReverseMatch when certain admin URLs are accessed. The issue happened because the URL pattern was too loose, allowing invalid UUID formats.

What’s changed?

• Updated the regex to allow only valid UUIDs.
• Added a check in admin.py to ensure UUIDs follow the correct format.
• Updated url.py accordingly.
• Kept support for both standard UUIDs (4290a79a-e740-4abf-b49e-9d5789b580f6) and hex format (4290a79ae7404abfb49e9d5789b580f6).
• Maintained backward compatibility by keeping re_path where needed.

Hi @Unnati-Gupta24
Can you pleaae add a test case for the change also?

[nemesifier]

Django has a built-in uuid path converter:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/http/urls/#path-converters

There's no automated test in this PR. Please add a test which fails without the changes, effectively replicating the bug. This test will protect us from the chance that this bug may be reintroduced inadvertently again in the future by other contributors.

Ok thanks understood...
Writing test cases for this

[Unnati-Gupta24]

I added a test case in admin.py, but the build is failing. I'm checking what might be causing this error.
There was an ELOF error in openwisp_controller/config/tests/utils.py, but it has been fixed.
Reformatted the files using openwisp-qa-format.
But the building is currently failing. I'm working on that..
