(*yang.Entry).Find() fails to find valid schema node identifiers

[andaru]

The new deviation support doesn't work with remote paths for us at all. Every one of our valid deviations fail to parse.

e.g.,

cannot find target node to deviate, /oc-acl:acl/oc-acl:acl-sets/oc-acl:acl-set/oc-acl:acl-entries/oc-acl:acl-entry/oc-acl:state/oc-acl:matched-octets

This deviation is found in a module importing openconfig-acl with prefix oc-acl. This is the simplest example, but we see similar issues with augmented paths (where the namespace prefix change).

RFC7950 section 6.5 says that:

   References to identifiers defined in external modules MUST be
   qualified with appropriate prefixes, and references to identifiers
   defined in the current module and its submodules MAY use a prefix.

As deviations are typically produced by a third-party to the original module author, this is the most common use case.

If you add some test cases to the previous change which include prefixes, you should see the error message above. e.g. a basic deviation module like this;

module foo {
  import "external-module" { prefix extern; }
  deviation /extern:some-top-level-node/extern:some-second-level-node/ { deviate not-supported; }
}

I am testing this with sonic but , did not see this problem with openconfig-acl.yang , But I am seeing this problem with other yang file .

My yang file and annotation are as below module ultraconfig-interfaces {

yang-version 1.1;

namespace "http://ultraconfig.com.au/ns/yang/ultraconfig-interfaces";

prefix if;

Annotation file is module ultraconfig-interfaces-annot {
