restores working "paging" feature in DatumTool, (#722)

* restores working "paging" feature in DatumTool,
however there remains a problem originating in display.to_lines_endpos()
whenever the very last character on a page was a breakable space, the 2nd
to last character is replaced with elipsis and is lost on the following page.

* resolves appending "ellipsis" as very last character on page
instead of replacing the second-to-last character when it
would have been a clippped white-space.
Includes test that would fail w/o the change to display.py
and confirms that this adjustment passes the test.

* test added, primarily to appease coverage of 3 new lines paging in Datum Tool:
* as page index gets appended,
* as user pages to next page,
* as user pages to previous page.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a text-paging bug in a tool called DatumTool on the Krux hardware wallet. Previously, when a page of text ended exactly at a space, the display logic could drop or misplace a character (showing an ellipsis and losing the second-to-last character). The fix changes how line breaks and ellipses are calculated so text is not silently lost across pages. It also restores working next/previous page navigation. There is no indication this bug was exploitable as a security attack; it is a reliability/correctness fix for user-facing text display.

Recommended action

Treat as a normal bug-fix commit. Reviewers may optionally verify that the new paging logic does not skip or repeat content on real device screen sizes, but no security-specific action is required.

Security signals we found

01

Off-by-one in display line wrapping could truncate or duplicate text across pages

02

Fix is framed by the author as restoring a broken paging feature, not as a security fix

03

No input validation, memory safety, cryptographic, or privilege changes present
