Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Onboarding enabler always uses first URL from the list to register with. It would be good to have the preference for local instance.

Describe the solution you'd like
Enabler can choose the preferred DS URL to register with and adjust list if it contains its own hostname.

Research direction

Start by tracing the onboarding enabler's registration flow and how it receives and iterates over the DS URL list. Confirm how a preferred URL and the enabler's own hostname should affect selection and list contents; done means registration uses the preferred local instance when applicable and preserves the intended remaining URLs.
