[nrf fromtree] net: lib: tls_credentials: Rename TLS_CREDENTIAL_SERVER_CERTIFICATE

rlubos · krish2718 · commit cca7995d9272 · 2025-04-10T01:55:09.000+05:30
TLS_CREDENTIAL_SERVER_CERTIFICATE credential type is misleading, as in fact it just represents a public certificate, it does not matter if the certificate belongs to a server or a client. And actually, it was already used in-tree for clients as well, for example in LwM2M. Therefore rename the credential type to a more generic TLS_CREDENTIAL_PUBLIC_CERTIFICATE and deprecate the old one. Signed-off-by: Robert Lubos <robert.lubos@nordicsemi.no> (cherry picked from commit a61287e)
