qml: adapt exception dialog to edge-to-edge layout
Even though the exception dialog inherits from ElDialog the padding
didn't work as it overwrites the properties of the ElDialog. So the
padding has to be applied separately to the ExceptionDialog.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a purely cosmetic UI adjustment for Electrum's mobile-style QML interface. It changes how padding is applied to the exception/error dialog so that it displays correctly on modern edge-to-edge phone screens. There is no security relevance.
No security action needed. Treat as normal UI/layout maintenance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies ExceptionDialog.qml to disable inherited system-bar padding (needsSystemBarPadding: false) and instead explicitly set top/bottom margins based on app.statusBarHeight and app.navigationBarHeight. This is a layout fix for edge-to-edge displays and does not alter security-sensitive logic, input handling, cryptography, networking, or permissions.
