The wayland socket in the builds for the brcm974116sff platform does not have write permissions for other users, therefore a correction of access rights is necessary. Ref: #RDKEAPPRT-510
Although some GPU layer libraries may not exist in the rootfs file system, they can be replaced with symbolic links to libraries whose names include the version number. This change adds a fallback mechanism for this case and activates it for: - /usr/lib/libEGL.so - /usr/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so - /usr/lib/libGLESv2.so Ref: #RDKEAPPRT-510
Use the default configuration for the platform if no configuration is provided for the detected firmware version. Ref: #RDKEAPPRT-510

Pull request overview
This PR adds support for running applications on the brcm974116sff platform by introducing platform-specific configuration and improving the robustness of GPU layer setup and socket configuration.
Key changes:
- Added platform configuration file for brcm974116sff with device nodes, group IDs, and IPC socket bindings
- Enhanced GPU layer setup script with fallback handling for stat command failures and flexible platform config lookup
- Refactored socket configuration logic into reusable functions with proper access rights management
