hal: add Memory HAL

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code refactoring that introduces a new 'Memory' hardware abstraction layer (HAL) in the BitBox02 firmware. It moves direct memory access calls behind a trait interface so the code can be more easily tested with mock memory. There is no direct evidence in the commit of a security vulnerability being fixed; it appears to be a structural improvement that also adds unit tests for password entry behavior.

Recommended action

No immediate security action is required. Reviewers may want to verify that the new `Memory` trait and its testing implementation faithfully preserve the semantics of the underlying `bitbox02::memory` operations, especially around initialization and seed storage, and that the added tests adequately cover the refactored code paths.

Security signals we found

01

Refactoring of sensitive memory operations (encrypted seed, initialization, reset) behind a HAL trait

02

Addition of unit tests for password entry default-to-digits behavior based on securechip type

03

No explicit security fix, CVE, or vulnerability description in commit message or diff
