add plugin hook to utxo list menu
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a standard extension point (a 'hook') to the right-click menu of the UTXO list in Electrum's Qt wallet interface. It lets third-party plugins add their own menu items when a user right-clicks on unspent transaction outputs. The change itself is a neutral feature addition; it does not contain any vulnerability or unsafe behavior.
No action required. Review any plugins that register the 'qt_utxo_menu' hook separately if they are installed or distributed.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff imports run_hook from electrum.plugin and invokes the ‘qt_utxo_menu’ hook inside create_menu(), passing the QMenu, selected coins, and wallet. This is a normal plugin API extension. There is no bug, missing validation, or security-relevant change in the commit itself. Any security implications would depend entirely on what a future plugin registers for this hook, which is outside the scope of this commit.
