Add Rust U2FHID HWW transport

Introduce a new `bitbox-u2fhid` crate that reassembles U2FHID
reports and routes vendor commands to the HWW async USB flow.

Update the async USB executor to hand out owned responses, reset
stale state on cancel, and size the report queue for a full worst-
case U2FHID message.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new Rust-based USB transport layer for BitBox hardware wallets. It reassembles U2F HID messages and routes vendor commands to the existing async USB task system. The change also hardens the async executor by handing out owned responses instead of copying into caller buffers, and by resetting stale state when a task is cancelled or times out. There is no vendor statement that this fixes a security bug; it reads as a feature/refactoring commit with defensive hardening.

Recommended action

Review the new U2FHID parser for off-by-one and state-machine issues, especially around reassembly timeouts, sequence-number wrapping, and concurrent-CID handling. Verify that the async executor's `cancel()` and timeout paths cannot drop a response that a host is still expecting. Confirm the report-queue capacity change does not exhaust embedded RAM. Treat as a normal feature/hardening commit unless additional disclosure material emerges.

Security signals we found

01

New USB transport parsing code handles length, sequence, timeout, and channel-busy checks defensively

02

Async executor now returns owned responses, removing a potential buffer-size mismatch / out-of-bounds copy path

03

Cancel/timeout now resets pending next_request state and unread results, reducing risk of state confusion

04

Queue sizing is explicitly tied to worst-case U2FHID message length

05

No explicit security claim, CVE, or attribution in commit message or diff
