feat: enhance hardware wallet compatibility and improve transaction handling (#3517)

* feat: enhance hardware wallet compatibility and improve transaction handling

- Updated hardware wallet services for Bitcoin and Litecoin (Ledger & Trezor).
- Added `LitecoinTrezorService` for signing and managing Litecoin transactions.
- Improved `PSBTTransaction` builder to handle change outputs and derivation paths.
- Fixed exception handling in `wallet_hardware_restore_view_model`.
- Refactored output and input structures to ensure consistency and extend compatibility.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors how Cake Wallet builds Bitcoin and Litecoin transactions for hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor, BitBox). It mainly improves change-output handling, derivation-path reporting, and adds a new Litecoin Trezor signing path. There is no explicit security bug fix in the commit message, but the changes touch sensitive transaction-assembly code where mistakes could affect how much money is sent or which addresses are shown on the device screen.

Recommended action

Treat this as a high-sensitivity functional refactor rather than a confirmed vulnerability. Review the new `PSBTReadyBitcoinOutput` change-output logic for off-by-one or silent-payment edge cases, verify the Trezor fingerprint check cannot be bypassed by a missing-derivation PSBT, and run hardware-wallet signing tests on Bitcoin and Litecoin with both change and payment outputs before release.

Security signals we found

01

Change-output derivation metadata now embedded in PSBT outputs, reducing risk of hardware wallet mis-classifying change as a payment

02

Bitcoin Trezor signing now validates that PSBT input fingerprints match the device master fingerprint before signing

03

Bitcoin Trezor signing now includes full previous-transaction metadata for inputs instead of only summary data

04

Exception handling narrowed from catch-all to Exception, which may leave Errors unhandled but also avoids swallowing runtime errors silently

05

Large refactor of hardware-wallet transaction signing paths with new native SDK dependency
