add "Restore from XOR" to Temporary Seed menu
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a new menu option called 'Restore Seed XOR' to the Temporary Seed menu on a COLDCARD device. It simply exposes an existing feature (restoring a seed from XOR-encoded parts) in a new place where users can reach it more easily. There is no code change to how seeds are stored, processed, or protected.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal feature/UI change during review.
Security signals we found
No security-relevant code change: only UI menu wiring
No new imports of cryptographic or sensitive modules
No changes to seed generation, storage, or derivation
Evidence from the diff
The diff adds one import of xor_restore_start and one MenuItem in EphemeralSeedMenu in shared/seed.py. The function already exists elsewhere (xor_seed.py) and is only being wired into the temporary/ephemeral seed UI. No cryptographic, storage, or privilege logic is modified.
