Add reactive tampering functionality to mock dispatcher

A malicious client could tamper with the protocol arbitrarily.
This adds a way of modifying the responses of the mock dispatcher
in an arbitrary way, allowing to test more precise or malicious
behaviors.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new testing feature to the unit-test mock dispatcher. It lets test authors simulate a malicious client that tampers with protocol responses. It does not change the actual Ledger Bitcoin app code, does not introduce a real vulnerability, and is not a security fix. It is purely test infrastructure.

Recommended action

No action required. This is a legitimate test-infrastructure enhancement. Continue normal review.
