This PR changes the installation of socat from using 'apt' to manual installation.
We found the latest socat version 1.8.0.3 has an issue when running with OTBR docker. To avoid the error caused by version and facilitate local development, the PR provides a script to install socat of version
1.7.4.4
and replaces the installation in CI and scripts..BTW, the installation in
install_openthread_binraries
is unnecessary becauseinstall_common_dependencies
will be done anyway.
