MLECO-5655: Updating to 25.02 dependencies

Updating third party dependencies to 25.02 versions. The
full list can be found here:
https://gitlab.arm.com/artificial-intelligence/ethos-u/ethos-u/-/blob/9c339ddd5369e37ed554f7e39647f4e0967a3e2d/25.02.json

Remote URLs for core-driver and core-platform have been
updated to track these sources from https://gitlab.arm.com/


as mlplatform is a read-only mirror for now and will not
have any new changes.
