Update ENUMs for "requestType" field (requestCancellation + requestRejected endpoints)Bug/WMDA: original specs contain incorrect values

Description:
The ENUMs for the "requestType" field (requestCancellation + requestRejected endpoints) were defined incorrectly in the initial version of the semantics.  We want to correct this error by implementing the correct ENUMs.

Previous specs:
requestType  
string
maxLength: 3
Enum: [ ALM, BLS, CBR, IDM, RSV, TYP, WOR ] 

Correct specs:
requestType
string
Enum: [ genericRequest, extendedTypingRequest, sampleRequest, infectiousDiseaseMarkerRequest ]		2024-08-2310010

Changelog for harmonising existing features

Technical Working Group (TWG) has decided to implement the following changes promptly, without a grace period, despite some being breaking changes. These changes aim to harmonise existing features. Following this, the WMDA team will continue developing new features.

We do not have a grace period; changes are delivered as soon as they are ready, following our agile Scrum process. Since Match-Connect is in the sandbox phase and no organisations are in production yet, this approach allows us to continuously improve without batching updates.
