darken cc99ad59ab fix(device): Resolve identity keys against reversed address octets
On at least one vendor stack the address handed up by the BLE scan callback
and the identity key stored for a profile disagree on octet order: the key
resolves the address only when its octets are reversed. Identity resolution
then fails on every advertisement, so no frame is attributed to the profile
and the case popup, connection popup, encrypted 1% battery granularity and
session reconnection all go with it.

RPAChecker gains resolve(), which reports the order that resolved. The
standard-order attempt is unchanged and ungated, so no currently-resolving
device can start failing. The reversed attempt only runs when the reversed
form carries the resolvable-private-address type marker (top bits 01), which
skips roughly three quarters of the extra comparisons for generic random
addresses. verify() is now a thin wrapper over resolve().

Address parsing is validated explicitly: exactly six components, each in
0..255. A seven-component string used to be silently mis-sliced, and
"15A:..." truncated to a valid octet — both cases could resolve.

The failure log no longer prints the identity key. A malformed address or
key wrote an identity-tracking secret into exactly the debug logs users mail
to support; the event and its level stay, the key is reduced to its length
and the address goes through redactedForLogs().

The history lookup that recovers a device by key now skips candidates bound
to a different profile. A 24-bit forward collision could already select the
wrong history; attempting two orders roughly doubles that exposure.

Test vectors are synthetic and derived from the key already committed in
RPACheckerTest. Two of them are complementary: one has an RPA-shaped
reversed form that fails the hash (proving the comparison runs), the other
has a reversed form that resolves cryptographically but carries marker 00
(proving the gate runs).
