Replaces deprecated use of numpy#fromstring method with #frombuffer (#7004)

arcra · web-flow · commit d1c582026005 · 2025-06-24T11:55:53.000-07:00
This method has been deprecated since version 1.14, and it started raising an error in 2.3, according to the [release notes](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v2.3.0rc1) A replacement with more appropriate semantics exists, so this change updates that use case to use the appropriate, non-deprecated method `frombuffer`. Googlers, see b/422161123.
