[I] NPE thrown when trying to update entire extension resource (i.e. EnterpriseExtension) [directory-scimple]

[via GitHub]

jasonfagerberg-toast opened a new issue, #695:
URL: https://github.com/apache/directory-scimple/issues/695

   When provided a patch operation like so
   
   ```json
   {
     "schemas": ["urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"],
     "Operations": [
       {
         "op": "replace",
         "path": "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User",
         "value": {
           "costCenter": "New Cost Center",
           "department": "New Department"
         }
       }
     ]
   }
   ```
   
   `DefaultPatchHander` throws a Null Pointer Exception
   
   ```
   java.lang.NullPointerException

   ```
   
   This seems to be because `DefaultPatchHandler.attributeReference` 
incorrectly parses the path as though it is an attribute path instead of a 
value path

   I believe by reading 
[RFC-7644](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7644#section-3.5.2.3) this 
should be a valid request. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong! 😄 
   
   I have written a test to illustrate the error
