[ip6] drop host-untrusted IP-in-IP packets (#13052)

Host-untrusted IP-in-IP packets could reach the local TMF socket
without the intended port checks on the receive path if destined to
the Border Router's own OMR address with an inner destination set to
the Thread-side link-local address. When the outer message is
decapsulated, it recurses through the IPv6 stack receive path while
retaining its HOST_UNTRUSTED origin, but local UDP socket dispatching
lacks equivalent origin checks.

This commit introduces a validation check in Ip6::HandleDatagram to
immediately drop any message from a host-untrusted origin with a
next header of kProtoIp6 (IP-in-IP encapsulation). This securely
prevents this receive-path processing and the corresponding
forwarding behavior.

Added the tmf_origin Nexus integration test to verify that
host-untrusted IP-in-IP packets are successfully dropped by
returning kErrorDrop.
