The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit moves the U2F counter read/write logic out of C code and into Rust code for the BitBox02 firmware. It is a refactoring/porting change: the same secure-chip storage object is still used, and the same operations (set counter, increment counter) are preserved. There is no obvious new security vulnerability in the diff, but the change touches sensitive secure-chip code and is only a partial port (some platforms still have placeholder 'todo!' implementations).

Recommended action

Review the new Rust Optiga implementation for atomicity and error-handling parity with the removed C code. Ensure that the `todo!()` placeholders in BitBox03 are completed before release, because unimplemented secure-chip methods would panic. Verify that the `factory-setup` feature does not expose U2F counter manipulation inappropriately in production builds.
