The Nordic nRF52 series have a peculiarity that is not shared with any
other Nordic families of SoCs: the reset pin can be reconfigured as a
regular GPIO. This has an unintended consequence: if the user has
reconfigured the pin in Devicetree to be a GPIO, `west flash` will
override that and configure the IC to use it as a reset pin, and the
firmware at boot won't be able to switch it back to GPIO, because that
requires a UICR erase. This behavior is very confusing to users, because
the GPIO does not work at all, since it is now just a reset line.
With this patch, `west flash` defaults to using soft reset instead of
pin reset for the nRF52 family of devices, to avoid overwriting the
reset pin configuration that the user includes in the image.
In order to be able to continue to use pin reset for users that so
desire it, a new option `--pinreset` is added that forces the use of pin
reset. The existing `--softreset` option is left exactly as it was, but
it is now applicable only to families other than the nRF52.

This is no longer necessary, because thanks to sysbuild we no longer
invoke a runner with a .hex file that is the result of merging builds
for more than one core.

Instead of pre-generating the JSON batch to then execute it, use
command-line arguments and --x-append-batch to generate the JSON file
tht will then be passed to x-execute-batch.

nRF54H can only be flashed using nrfutil now, so some workaround present
in the nrf_common module are no longer needed, e.g. UICR erasing.

Refactor the existing nrfjprog tests to make them compatible with the
new nrfutil runner implementation, and extend them so that they are
exectued for both tools.
There is missing verification of the JSON generated by the nrfutil
runner, whcih will be added in a follow-up commit.

- Rename the test file to test_nrf.py in preparation for future tests
covering nrfutil as well
- Rename the test folder from nrfjprog/ to nrf/
- Change the id_fn returned string formatting so that it's compatible
with executing a single test case via -k as a parameter (no spaces or
commas)
You can now execute:
python -m pytest tests/test_nrf.py -k \
'test_nrfjprog_init[NRF51-pin_reset-override_snr-sector[anduicr]\
_erase-no_recover-no_tool_opt]'
