Description

When we create a subscription, we configure the subscription to use the notification API endpoint as the webhook on MSCalendar side. If there is any change on the SiteURL, all the active subscriptions will stop working since the endpoint would have changed, but MSCalendar would still be sending the notifications to the old one.

One change proposal would be that if there is a change on the SiteURL, traverse all the subscriptions and update them with the correct endpoint.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the subscription creation code and identify where the SiteURL is used to set the webhook endpoint. Then, find how SiteURL changes propagate in Mattermost and design a mechanism to update all active subscriptions with the new endpoint when SiteURL changes.
