Pushed all downstream patches aligning nrfconnect platform
to the nRF Connect SDK 2.5.0 version:

* [nrfconnect] Enable zcbor explicitly for mcuboot

Mcuboot requires zcbor, so enable it explicitly, otherwise the build
fails with latest mcuboot.

* [nrfconnect] Align with the upstream net_if API change

net_if_ipv6_maddr_join() now requires to provide a net_if pointer.

* config: nrfconnect: Remove PSA_WANT default n setting

With PSA_WANT configurations being default n then these default values
are no longer needed for chip-module.

* [zephyr] Add config to enable watermarks support

Added a config to control enabling support for heap watermarks
within the Zephyr platform.

* Fixed Wi-Fi re-connection mechanism.

Do not force the Disconnect() if the wpa_supplicant
recovered the connection by itself.

* Disabled BLE GATT caching

This commit disables BLE Gatt caching for nRF Connect SDK platform.

* Enabled erasing NVS as default method

This commit configures FW to erase flash pages occupied by non-volatile
storage when a factory reset is requested, instead of removing
Matter-related settings only.

* Disable shell for OpenThread and HWINFO module

This commit reduces the overall memory consumption by disabling the
OpenThread shell and HWInfo module.

* Align finding Python3 executable to NCS requirements.

We should try to find Python3 instead of Python within cmake
scripts.

* Enable Generating Onboarding Codes by default

This PR enables automatic generation of onboarding codes to the
build directory when Factory Data feature is enabled.

* Enable minimal configuration of Shell

Enable minimal shell configuration to save some ROM and RAM.

* Fixed boot reason for nRF52

Recently the mechanism of nRF52 reboot type retention which is
used in Matter has been deprecated in Zephyr and can be only
bring back by a dedicated KConfig. Another solution (chosen) is
to explicitly store boot reason in the retention registers for
both nRF52 and nRF53.

* Increased number of net sockets poll max

Increased CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_POLL_MAX from 4 to 6, as otherwise
it resulted in bus fault during connection.

* Remove recovery mechanism for Wi-Fi connection

Currently, the Wi-Fi driver supports the recovery mechanism and it
seems that it works properly so we can remove our recovery mechanism
when the connection is lost. Apart from losing the network,
we need to leave the recovery mechanism to work after the device's
reboot because we need to scan periodically to find a known network.

* Increase the maximum number of prefixes to match
the maximum number of IPv6 addresses per interface.

Zephyr ipv6_nbr implementation requires the given address
to have a matching prefix set on the interface. Otherwise,
the default router is used for sending neighbor advertisement
and as a result, in case there are multiple routers in the network,
the packet can be sent to the invalid interface (not the one which
issued neighbor solicitation).

* [nrfconnect] Enable NVS lookup cache settings optimization

By default, use the lookup cache hash function optimized
for NVS used as the settings backend. This assumes that
a user application uses Zephyr settings API and does not
write to the NVS directly.

* Disable nRF70 driver logs verbosity by default.

This aims to keep memory footprint after this config is
enabled by default in NCS.

* Disabled BLE 2M PHY due to interoperability issues

There were some interoperability issues discovered due to
BLE PHY dynamic changes from 1M to 2M. The 2M was disabled
to ensure the interoperability with some of the BT controllers.

* Disabled Wi-Fi logs to save flash

Recently some new Wi-Fi logs were enabled by default.
These need to be disabled to decrease memory footprint.

* [nrfconnect] Fixed door lock feature map

Door lock sample has incorrect feature map value, because it
is hardcoded in cpp file, instead of using the value generated
from the .zap file.

* [nrfconnect] Fixed window covering attributes default values

Implemented post cluster init callback to set null values to 0,
if any other value was not saved in NVS.

* [nrfconnect] Disabled BOOT BANNER for release configuration

* Align codebase with the new callback format

Align NCS codebase with the new struct mgmt_callback format.

* Restore IPC thread priority in Matter samples

We noticed that IPC priority on nRF5340 is not set by default.
We need to set it in DTS to be sure that the IPC thread does not
collide with other threads.

* Enable build with the factory data support.

This PR enables factory data generation and usage by default in
all NCS Matter samples.

* Fix missing mcumgr header

Header img_mgmt.h added to source file.

* Forced using minimal libc for mcuboot image

Minimal libc selection has to be forced for all Matter-related
mcuboot builds. Otherwise the picolib is enabled and image
size increases by several k, so it cannot fit in the dedicated
partition.

* Add bootutil for image definitions

Adds building bootutil, when DFU with MCUmgr is enabled, for
application image definitions.

* [zephyr] Track number of enqueued platform events

Add a new system statistic for tracking the number of
enqueued platform events and update it in Zephyr platform.

* Optimize RAM usage

- Reduce number of network buffers and packets
This commit reduces the number of network buffers and packets used by
the nrfconnect platform.

- Add support for printing mbedTLS heap
This commit adds support for printing the peak usage of mbedTLS heap.

- Reduce number of Matter stack packet buffers
This commit reduced the number of available Matter's packet buffers to
8 which affects RAM usage.

- Introduce KConfig option to enable RAM profiling

This commit introduces the KConfig option that enables a set of
features useful for profiling the RAM memory.

- Disable SSL server support for Matter

This commit dissables unused support for SSL server.

- Reduce size of platform event queue

This commit overwrites the default size of platform event queue and
sets it to 64.

- Reduce mbedTLS heap and OpenThread stack sizes

This commit reduces the mbedTLs heap and OpenThread stack sizes when
Joiner role is enabled by not used (case of OT libraries).

- Reduce kernel heap size for Matter over Wi-Fi

This commit aligns the default heap size to the value used in the
Shell example.

- Optimize buffer usage of nRF700X driver for Matter

Matter device does not need to operate as high-performance STA, and so
this commit reduces the default number of buffers. As a result the heap
used by the supplicant may be significantly reduced.

- Added the missing conditions to HEAP configs.

Decrease stack sizes according to the peak results

* Increase stability of Wi-Fi LPM operations

This commit increases number of TX Tokens to the previous value of 10
to prevent RPU stalls.

Additionally it was observed that 500ms delay before executing factory
reset is too small for certain situations on Wi-Fi. This commit also
increases this delay to 1s.

With the most recent OpenThread version, the API for CSL methods
changed, so it had to be aligned in the Matter SDK.

Added alternative implementation depending on the OpenThread
API version.

Updated nRF Connect SDK version to 2.5.0 and updated all docker
images version to the 24.

Changed if defined() to if statement to fix missing mbedtls
header file for platforms using CHIP_CRYPTO_MBEDTLS = false

The default prj.conf build does not use partition layout with
factory data partition included, so the factory data support
has to be disabled.

* Moved MINIMAL_LIBC config to mcuboot defaults
* Brought back setting lock feature map, but changed the value
from 0x101 to 0x181 (added COTA support)

Additionally fixed Zephyr unit tests:
* Changed main return type from void to main for Zephyr unit tests
runner.
* Added decreasing pool size conditionally to not affect tests
* Fixed exiting the tests to prevent abort.
