[nexus] add test 6.3.2 network data update (#12490)

This commit adds a new nexus test that implements the test
specification for 6.3.2 Network Data Update.

The test covers both Topology A (Minimal End Device - MED) and
Topology B (Sleepy End Device - SED). It validates that the child
device correctly identifies updated network data and requests the
full network data if necessary.

Changes:
- Added tests/nexus/test_6_3_2.cpp to execute the test.
- Added tests/nexus/verify_6_3_2.py to verify packet captures.
- Updated tests/nexus/CMakeLists.txt to build the new test.
- Updated tests/nexus/run_nexus_tests.sh to include 6_3_2.

The C++ code uses direct core method calls and handles RF isolation
between node pairs using AllowList/UnallowList. The Python script
performs rigorous verification of MLE Data Response, Child Update
Request/Response, and Data Request packets, including Address
Registration TLV content verification.
