qt: make ElectrumWindow.lightning_button wider
Qt was showing the lightning_button percentage string while syncing gossip
as `...` instead of the percentage as the minimum width of the button
seemed too small. Increasing this a bit fixes the issue.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a tiny user-interface tweak: it makes a Lightning Network status button slightly wider so that its percentage text (shown while syncing network gossip) is not cut off and displayed as '...'. There is no security issue here.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal UI fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change increases the maximum width of ElectrumWindow.lightning_button from 25 + 5 * char_width_in_lineedit() to 25 + 6 * char_width_in_lineedit(). This is purely a cosmetic/layout fix to prevent Qt from eliding the progress percentage string during Lightning gossip sync.
