Update --data-dir to use new target location
``` We have now restored the etcd snapshot to a new path on the controlplane - **/var/lib/etcd-from-backup**, so the only change to be made in the YAML file is to change the hostPath for the volume called **etcd-data** from old directory (/var/lib/etcd) to the new directory **/var/lib/etcd-from-backup**.
--data-dir=/var/lib/etcd-from-backup
```
Update ETCD POD to use the new hostPath directory `/var/lib/etcd-from-backup` by modifying the pod definition file at `/etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml`. When this file is updated, the ETCD pod is automatically re-created as this is a static pod placed under the `/etc/kubernetes/manifests` directory.
Update volumes and volume mounts to point to new path

With this change, /var/lib/etcd on the **container** points to /var/lib/etcd-from-backup on the host (which is what we want)

**If** you change **--data-dir** to **/var/lib/etcd-from-backup** in the YAML file, make sure that the **volumeMounts** for **etcd-data** is updated as well, with the mountPath pointing to /var/lib/etcd-from-backup (THIS COMPLETE STEP IS OPTIONAL AND NEED NOT BE DONE FOR COMPLETING THE RESTORE)
