Update sonic-mgmt-common submodule with merged AAA transformer

[devin-ai-integration]

Why I did it

Migrates AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) CLI commands from Click-based implementation in sonic-utilities to Klish-based implementation in sonic-mgmt-framework, using the three-layer architecture (XML → Python actioner → REST API) with a Go subtree transformer for bidirectional OpenConfig ↔ SONiC conversion.

How I did it

This PR updates two submodules and adds an HLD document. The actual new code lives in the submodule PRs:

• sonic-mgmt-common (PR #4 — merged, CI passed build 264): YANG annotation, extension YANG, Go subtree transformer, integration tests, CVL import fix, models_list fix, app routing fix
• sonic-mgmt-framework (PR #3): Klish XML command definitions, Python actioner, Jinja2 show template

New files across submodules:

File	Submodule	Purpose
openconfig-system-annot.yang	sonic-mgmt-common	Registers aaa_subtree_xfmr on /oc-sys:system/aaa
openconfig-aaa-ext.yang	sonic-mgmt-common	Augments OC AAA auth config/state with failthrough, fallback, debug
xfmr_aaa.go	sonic-mgmt-common	Subtree transformer (YangToDb via inParams.ygRoot + reflect union handling; DbToYang via ocbinds)
aaa_openconfig_test.go	sonic-mgmt-common	Integration tests gated by testapp build tag
aaa.xml	sonic-mgmt-framework	Klish CLI definitions for configure and show views
sonic_cli_aaa.py	sonic-mgmt-framework	Python actioner with REST PATCH/DELETE/GET calls
show_aaa.j2	sonic-mgmt-framework	Jinja2 template for show aaa output
AAA_Klish_CLI_HLD.md	sonic-buildimage (this PR)	High-level design document

Key configuration changes in sonic-mgmt-common:

File	Change	Reason
config/transformer/models_list	Added openconfig-system.yang, openconfig-system-annot.yang	Transformer only loads modules listed here
models/yang/sonic/import.mk	Added sonic-system-aaa.yang to SONICYANG_IMPORTS	CVL needs the AAA table in its schema for SortDepTables()
translib/app_interface.go	Updated getAppModuleInfo() with longest prefix matching	Routes /openconfig-system:system/aaa to CommonApp (transformer) instead of SysApp

CI iteration history (7 builds):

1. Build 240: Fixed YangToDb to use inParams.ygRoot (typed YANG objects) instead of inParams.param (JSON)
2. Build 242: Fixed app routing with longest prefix matching
3. Build 244: Renamed annotation module to openconfig-system-annot (must match root element's module)
4. Build 246: Added openconfig-system.yang and openconfig-system-annot.yang to models_list
5. Build 248: Transformer called correctly but CVL returned empty from SortDepTables(["AAA"])
6. Build 260: Added sonic-system-aaa.yang to SONICYANG_IMPORTS but test failed (CVL rejected tacacs+ without passkey)
7. Build 264: PASSED — fixed test to use local,radius instead of tacacs+,local

How to verify it

⚠️ CI Status:

• ✅ sonic-mgmt-common: CI passed (build 264), PR merged
• ⚠️ sonic-mgmt-framework: PR created but CI not yet validated
• ⚠️ sonic-buildimage: This PR has not run VS build yet
• ⚠️ kvmtest: Not yet run (required by user)

Full verification requires:

1. VS build must succeed (validates Go compilation with generated ocbinds and full integration)
2. kvmtest on virtual DUT to validate end-to-end CLI operations:
   • aaa authentication login local radius → ConfigDB AAA|authentication|login = "local,radius"
   • aaa authentication failthrough enable → ConfigDB AAA|authentication|failthrough = "True"
   • show aaa displays correct output
   • REST GET /openconfig-system:system/aaa returns correct JSON
   • Bidirectional transformer works (ConfigDB → OpenConfig → ConfigDB round-trip)

Critical Review Checklist for Human Reviewer

🔴 HIGH RISK — Requires immediate attention:

• sonic-mgmt-framework PR Fix Y2K38: Comprehensive 2038 timestamp overflow fixes across submodules #3 has NOT been CI-validated — The XML, Python actioner, and Jinja2 template have not been tested in a build pipeline. Review the submodule PR carefully for syntax errors, incorrect REST paths, or template rendering issues.

• sonic-buildimage VS build has NOT run — This PR updates submodule pointers but hasn't been through the full VS build. The following could fail:

  • ocbinds type name mismatches in xfmr_aaa.go DbToYang path (e.g., OpenconfigSystem_System, To_OpenconfigSystem_System_Aaa_Authentication_Config_AuthenticationMethod_Union())
  • YANG compilation errors if annotation or extension YANG has syntax issues
  • CLI registration failures if XML or actioner has errors

• kvmtest has NOT been run — User explicitly required kvmtest validation on DUT. This PR cannot be considered complete until kvmtest passes.

• HLD document has path inconsistencies — Section 2 (Command Mapping Table) references /openconfig-aaa:aaa/... but the actual implementation uses /openconfig-system:system/aaa/.... Update the HLD for consistency.

🟡 MEDIUM RISK — Functional bugs to verify:

• DELETE operations for augmented ext fields — DELETE to authentication/config/openconfig-aaa-ext:failthrough matches the AAA_AUTH_CONFIG prefix case in the transformer switch (line 116 of xfmr_aaa.go) and may delete the entire authentication config entry instead of just the failthrough field. Test DELETE operations for individual ext fields.

• App routing change affects all paths — The longest prefix matching change in app_interface.go affects routing for all OpenConfig paths. Verify that existing paths (sflow, mclag, interfaces, VLAN, etc.) still route correctly. Build 264 passed all existing tests, but integration-level regressions are possible.

🟢 LOW RISK — Polish items:

• Verify Klish XML ${__params} expansion works correctly with the actioner's build_method_list filtering
• Test Jinja2 template with both prefixed and unprefixed JSON keys from ygot serialization

Link to config_db schema for YANG module changes

No changes to config_db schema — this PR uses the existing AAA table structure defined in sonic-system-aaa.yang.
