Backend: Enhanced matchField function with prefix and contains matching
so NHTSA values like "Sierra" match dropdown options like "Sierra 1500".

Matching hierarchy:
1. Exact match (case-insensitive) -> high confidence
2. Normalized match (remove special chars) -> medium confidence
3. Prefix match (option starts with value) -> medium confidence (NEW)
4. Contains match (option contains value) -> medium confidence (NEW)

Frontend: Fixed VIN decode form population by loading dropdown options
before setting form values, preventing cascade useEffects from clearing
decoded values.
