Fix LVGL transition style clearing

Fix LVGL transition style clearing

Wrap the transition style setter around LvStyleTransition so callers use
the safe wrapper instead of raw descriptors.

Remove the local transition style property when None is passed, matching
the behavior of other optional style setters.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a bug in how the BitBox02 hardware wallet's user-interface library clears style transitions. Previously, passing 'None' for a transition style would store a null pointer in LVGL's style state, which could later be dereferenced during state changes and crash or corrupt the UI. The patch now removes the local transition property instead of storing a null pointer, and wraps the transition setter in a safer Rust type. It also tightens other optional pointer-style setters and grid-template inputs so null pointers cannot be silently stored. The change is defensive hardening rather than a demonstrated remote exploit, but on a security device any UI crash or memory corruption is relevant.

Recommended action

Treat as a defensive fix and include in the next firmware release. Review other LVGL wrapper functions for the same anti-pattern (passing NULL for optional pointer-valued styles). No immediate incident response is indicated because no external exploit or disclosure is referenced.

Security signals we found

01

Null-pointer dereference risk in LVGL transition style handling eliminated by removing the local property instead of storing NULL

02

Optional pointer style setters now remove the property on None rather than passing NULL to LVGL

03

Transition descriptor access restricted to crate-private, forcing callers through the LvStyleTransition wrapper

04

Grid template arrays now enforced at compile time to be non-empty and LV_GRID_TEMPLATE_LAST-terminated

05

LvFont constructor marked unsafe with documented lifetime contract

06

New regression tests added for transition/optional-pointer None behavior
