SON Use Case and Slicing Use Case rely on RAN-Sim which used Honeycomb netconf servers.

Honeycomb project has been archived. May impact upgrades and fixes.

As we think of options, it is good to harmonize with O-RAN OSC sim project.

and also work in ONAP and OSC for A1

 Next steps: Evaluate work needed to use netopeer instead of Honeycomb in RAN-Sim, and harmonize two sims.
