Pull request overview
This PR migrates the native build system for Coverity from using a cloned repository approach to a Git submodule approach, centralizing build tools in the rdkcentral/build_tools_workflows repository.
Changes:
- Replaced wrapper scripts that cloned
build_tools_workflowswith direct usage via Git submodule - Reorganized and documented compiler flags in
configure_options.conffor better maintainability - Updated dependency configuration to use standardized build types and reordered dependencies

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Section comment incorrectly categorizes MACsec support. MACsec (line 109) is a Layer 2 security protocol for Ethernet and is not specific to Cable Modem or DOCSIS.

| # MAP-T / NAT46 (IPv4/IPv6 Translation) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The comment describing MAP-T includes a parenthetical clarification '(IPv4/IPv6 Translation)'. While technically correct, MAP-T specifically refers to 'Mapping of Address and Port with Translation' which is a more precise description than the generic 'IPv4/IPv6 Translation' term.

The build configuration for trower-base64 was changed from explicit meson commands to simplified 'type: meson'. Ensure that the default meson build behavior (which would typically use 'meson setup builddir --prefix=$HOME/usr' and 'meson compile -C builddir') produces the same result as the previous explicit commands, particularly regarding the prefix path.
