Abtin Keshavarzian b3d3b5c3c7 [netdiag] require 'RD:' prefix for vendor name on reference devices (#12233)
When `OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_REFERENCE_DEVICE_ENABLE` is active, this
change mandates that the vendor name string MUST begin with the "RD:"
prefix. This ensures that reference devices are clearly and
consistently identifiable through network diagnostic queries.

The enforcement is applied at two levels:

- A compile-time `static_assert` is added to validate the default
  `OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_NET_DIAG_VENDOR_NAME` at build time. This uses a
  new `constexpr` helper utility `CheckConstStringPrefix()`.

- A runtime check is added to `otThreadSetVendorName()`, which will
  now return `OT_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS` if an invalid name is provided
  on a reference device build.

All related test configurations (`scan-build`, `toranj`, `nexus`) and
CLI tests are updated to reflect this new requirement and validate
it.

OpenThread Control Interface

The OpenThread Control Interface (OTCI) is a library which provides uniform Python interfaces to connect and control various kinds of devices running OpenThread.

Supported device types

Example

import otci

# Connect to an OTBR device via SSH
node1 = otci.connect_otbr_ssh("192.168.1.101")

# Connect to an OpenThread CLI device via Serial
node2 = otci.connect_cli_serial("/dev/ttyACM0"))

# Start node1 and wait for it to become the Leader
node1.dataset_init_buffer()
node1.dataset_set_buffer(network_name='test', network_key='00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff', panid=0xface, channel=11)
node1.dataset_commit_buffer('active')

node1.ifconfig_up()
node1.thread_start()
node1.wait(5)
assert node1.get_state() == "leader"

# Start the Commissioner role on node1
node1.commissioner_start()
node1.wait(3)

node1.commissioner_add_joiner("TEST123",eui64='*')

# Start node2
node2.ifconfig_up()
node2.set_router_selection_jitter(1)

# Start the Joiner role on node2 and wait for it to join the network
node2.joiner_start("TEST123")
node2.wait(10, expect_line="Join success")

# Wait for node 2 to become a Router
node2.thread_start()
node2.wait(5)
assert node2.get_state() == "router"
