payment_request: truncate long swap-to amounts

Same as amount.rs in Ethereum.

We apply it regardless of the coin target, as we can't enumerate
them (any ERC20 token etc. is possible).

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how the BitBox02 hardware wallet displays very long swap-to amounts on its screen. Previously, an extremely long amount string could be shown in full, potentially overflowing the display or making the user interface unusable. Now, long decimal portions are truncated with '...' so the integer part and a fixed number of decimal digits remain visible. This is a UI hardening change rather than a fix for a remote exploit.

Recommended action

Treat as a minor UI hardening improvement. Review whether 13 characters is an appropriate display budget for all supported locales and font widths, and ensure the truncation logic cannot be bypassed by malformed input. No urgent security response is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

UI truncation of untrusted user/remote input before display

02

Prevention of display overflow / clipping of swap confirmation screen

03

Alignment with existing Ethereum amount.rs truncation budget

04

No input validation weakening; invalid amount strings still return Error::InvalidInput
