[udp] update Socket::Open() to include NetifId (#10964)

This commit updates how the `NetifId` is set on a `Udp::Socket`. It is
now specified as a parameter in the `Open()` call instead of `Bind()`.

This change makes the socket more flexible by allowing the `NetifId`
to be known earlier (which can be used for future optimizations). It
also allows the desired `NetifId` to be set even when `Bind()` is not
explicitly called, such as when `Connect()` or `SendTo()` are used on
a socket that is not yet bound. Previously, `kNetifThread` was
assumed by default in these situations.

The public `otUdp` APIs are left unchanged to ensure backward
compatibility.
