rust/keystore: wrap unlock_bip39() and copy_bip39_seed() in bitbox02-rust

Original is renamed so the compiler can error if we missed one.

By moving all keystore calls to bitbox02_rust::keystore, we can more
easily replace the function bodies with native Rust
implementations (without wrapping C).

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine internal code reorganization in the BitBox02 firmware. It moves two existing keystore functions—used to unlock and copy the BIP39 seed—into a higher-level Rust wrapper module, and renames the original low-level functions with an underscore prefix so the compiler flags any remaining direct callers. The change does not alter the cryptographic behavior, add new user-facing features, or fix a known security bug. It is preparation for a future native Rust implementation.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as normal refactoring. If reviewing for defense in depth, verify that the wrapper functions preserve the same zeroization behavior and error handling as the originals, and that no new direct callers of the underscore-prefixed low-level functions remain outside test code.

Security signals we found

01

Refactoring of seed-handling code paths

02

Renaming of functions that access retained BIP39 seed material

03

Addition of test-only accessor for encrypted retained BIP39 seed

04

No change to encryption, decryption, or access-control semantics
