change: [M3-8961] - Change Pendo sanitized url path string to match UXR request

[mjac0bs]

Description 📝

UXR has reported:

"On our end, to ensure we are tracking accurately, we have to replace the XXXX with an <ignore> or * rule in the Pendo Tagging tool. Is there a way to replace it with a *? It will save manual steps in Pendo.. . once most pages have those bits replaced while retrotagging, we can make sure to look out for XXXX and replaced it in the Rule Builder with the attached screenshots."

Even with rules configured, changing the XXXX to * now will save time and speed up the tagging process in the future because new URLs will not have to have the same rules configured to transform the XXXXs.

Note: We confirmed via Pendo that the unicode %2A wouldn't be an issue - the * in a rule will match the unicode in the normalized pattern.

Changes 🔄

• Replaced the XXXX string with * in URL transformation and unit test
