Subject: [RFC] mesh: meshctl: Fix duplicate modelId's in json database

In parse_configuration_models(), it's not an issue whether the calls
succeed or fail. If the entries appear in the model object they are
processed, if not they aren't.

---

The calling sequence is

prov_db_node_set_model_pub()
get_jmodel_obj()
parse_configuration_models()

There seems to be a problem in parse_configuration_models(). In the
loop looking for the model that matches the target_id, if the first
model matches, the model object is returned and the function exits.

If the loop has to iterate, it next calls parse_bindings(). That
function checks if the binding already exists and because it
does, exits false with jmodel set to null.

The consequence is the addition of a second modelId object with the
same model id.

It's not clear why the function exits when it finds the model with the
matching model id and before calling parse_bindings(), etc. I'd think
that the test should go after those calls.

I'm still not sure I completely understand how all this works. It would
also seem that the parse_xxx() functions get called for models up to
the one that matches, but not after.
