hal: add local memory/securechip types

We want to have HAL be self contained and not depend on bitbox02 -
bitbox02 will contain the bitbox02 HAL impl in the future.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a software-architecture cleanup, not a security fix. It moves data types such as device platform, secure chip model, and password-stretching algorithm out of a low-level BitBox02-specific module into a new hardware-abstraction layer (HAL). The real hardware behavior is unchanged; only the internal Rust type names and error-conversion paths are different. A few error mappings were made slightly more precise (for example, a duplicate name now returns a clearer 'duplicate' error instead of a generic memory error), but these are minor refinements rather than vulnerability fixes.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality/architecture review. If auditing, verify that the new error mappings do not accidentally expose more information to callers than intended (e.g., the more specific Duplicate/InvalidInput responses in hww/api/error.rs).

Security signals we found

01

Refactoring of memory/securechip error types into HAL abstraction layer

02

Slight improvement in error mapping for duplicate-name and invalid-input memory errors

03

Addition of SC_ERR_MEMORY to securechip status-code lookup table

04

No changes to input validation, access control, or cryptographic operations
