Implement custom VPCS driver and unified tool architecture:
- Add VPCSTelnet custom driver (vpcs_telnet.py)
- No authentication (direct console access like VPCS behavior)
- Simple prompt pattern matching (PC\d+>)
- Automatic ANSI escape code stripping for clean output
- Config mode methods return empty (VPCS has no config modes)
- Replace vpcs_tools_telnetlib3.py with vpcs_tools_netmiko.py
- Migrate from telnetlib3 to Netmiko + Nornir architecture
- Unified tool architecture matching config/display tools
- Improved code consistency and maintainability
- Add comprehensive test coverage (test_vpcs_telnet.py)
- 30 unit tests covering all VPCS driver functionality
- Tests for ANSI code stripping, telnet_login, send_command
- Tests for device registration and initialization
- Update VPCS built-in template (services/templates.py)
- Add platform:vpcs and device_type:gns3_vpcs_telnet tags
- Automatic driver selection without manual configuration
- Update documentation (docs/)
- multi-vendor-device-support.md: VPCS driver documentation
- netmiko_devices.md: Add VPCS to supported devices list
- README.md: Update multi-vendor support description
