Remove deleted topology group references from alerts.

We have come across the scenario where alerts are having references of topology groups which are deleted or not active in the system. This reference has to be removed from alerts or mark the topology group as deleted when they are inactive. The probable cause ranking pods often check the topology relationship of alerts based on the topology groups and ends up in continuously querying for missing topology groups as in a loop. If properly marked as deleted, probable cause pods or any dependent pods can avoid processing of the deleted topology groups and avoid errors.

If any topology template is not active or has been deleted from system, the alert metadata has to be updated with the topology group as deleted or remove the reference.

There are chances we will be dismantling the groups, and if alert still holds the references, it will often create issues on other dependent pods who relay of alerts like Incidents, Topology, Probable cause ranking etc.
