run 802.15.4 diagnostics (aka mfglib)

The following text is a copy from the openThread github for your convenience.

The OpenThread diagnostics module is a tool for debugging platform hardware manually, and it will also be used during manufacturing process, to verify platform hardware performance.

The diagnostics module supports common diagnostics features that are listed below, and it also provides a mechanism for expanding platform specific diagnostics features.
