When a device exists in Nautobot with the same name but a different UUID (e.g., from a previous enrollment or manual creation), the sync would fail with "A device with this name already exists" error. This change adds fallback logic to: 1. Look up device by name if not found by UUID 2. If found with mismatched UUID, delete and recreate with correct UUID
