Fix manual code processing in python_testing_support (#27558)

Problem:
- Leading zeroes in manual pairing code were lost due to
  a conversion bug, which prevented proper usage
- Found during plugfest

This PR:
- Avoids a round trip that removed leading zeroes and fixes
  the conversion to be lossless while retaining structural
  validation.
- Allows spaces in passcode.

Testing done:
- Executed TC_DeviceBasicComposition with a --manual-code having
  leading zeroes, against chip-lighting-app.
- Regression tests of TC_*.py
