[border-routing] fix stale prefixes checking timer (#7241)

Current implementation will reschedule the Stale Timer when discovered
on-link or OMR prefixes or RA messages are updated, but it has a few
issues:

1. It's counting the maximum stale time of all on-link prefixes so
    that we will schedule Router Solicitation when all on-link
    prefixes become stale. But it failed to filter out OMR prefixes in
    the `mDiscoveredPrefixes` list. This results in incorrect stale
    time calculation.

2. A deprecated on-link-prefix is not removed from
    `mDiscoveredPrefixes` directly but the preferred lifetime is set
    to zero. We are not filtering out deprecated on-link prefixes when
    calculating stale time and this results in zero stale timer delay
    if there are no non-deprecated on-link prefixes.

This commit fixes those issues by having a dedicated
`ResetDiscoveredPrefixStaleTimer` to reschedule the stale timer with
following rules whenever discovered prefixes or learnt RA messages are
updated:

1. If BR learns RA header from Host daemons, it should send RS when
   the RA header is stale.

2. If BR discovered any on-link prefix, it should send RS when all
   on-link prefixes are stale.

3. If BR discovered any OMR prefix, it should send RS when the first
   OMR prefix is stale.

`ResetDiscoveredPrefixStaleTimer` is supposed to correctly calculate
stale timer timeout whenever it's called.

OpenThread Build Simulation Docker Language grade: C/C++ Coverage Status


What is OpenThread?

OpenThread released by Google is...

...an open-source implementation of the Thread networking protocol. Google Nest has released OpenThread to make the technology used in Nest products more broadly available to developers to accelerate the development of products for the connected home.

...OS and platform agnostic, with a narrow platform abstraction layer and a small memory footprint, making it highly portable. It supports both system-on-chip (SoC) and network co-processor (NCP) designs.

...a Thread Certified Component, implementing all features defined in the Thread 1.1.1 specification, including all Thread networking layers (IPv6, 6LoWPAN, IEEE 802.15.4 with MAC security, Mesh Link Establishment, Mesh Routing) and device roles, as well as Border Router support.

More information about Thread can be found at threadgroup.org. Thread is a registered trademark of the Thread Group, Inc.
