Abtin Keshavarzian f90d50b220 [dhcp6] implement DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (PD) client (#11584)
This commit introduces the `Dhcp6PdClient` class, which implements
DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation (PD) client functionality. It integrates
with `BorderRouter::RoutingManager` and its `PdPrefixManager`
sub-component. The CMake `OT_BORDER_ROUTING_DHCP6_PD_CLIENT` mapped
to `OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_BORDER_ROUTING_DHCP6_PD_CLIENT_ENABLE` config
enables this feature.

Previously, the platform layer was expected to implement client
functionality, acquiring and providing the delegated prefix(es) to
the OT stack using `otPlatBorderRouter*` callbacks. This approach
continues to be supported. The `Dhcp6PdClient` feature adds native
support for this functionality in the OpenThread core.

The `Dhcp6PdClient` implementation follows RFC 8415, focusing on
prefix delegation and all required behaviors. The client follows the
standard four-message Solicit/Advertise/Request/Reply exchange to
obtain a delegated prefix, followed by a two-message Renew/Reply or
Rebind/Reply exchange to extend the lifetime of the delegated prefix.
When the prefix is no longer needed, a two-message Release/Reply
exchange ends its lease. The current client implementation does not
support the optional "Reconfigure Accept" mechanism.

A set of `otPlatInfraIfDhcp6PdClient*` platform APIs are also
introduced for use by the `Dhcp6PdClient`. These APIs are used to
enable or disable listening for DHCPv6 messages and to handle sending
and receiving them on the standard client and server UDP ports
(546 and 547), effectively acting as a UDP socket.

This commit also includes a comprehensive unit test covering various
aspects of `Dhcp6PdClient`, including common behaviors and many
specific edge cases.
