Add testcase for registering a policy with too high confusion score

The test verifies that register_wallet still succeeds, but showing
the raw descriptor template (fallback to usual behavior) rather
than the cleartext version.

Also, slightly refactored the shared code across unit tests.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new unit test and refactors shared test helper code. It does not change the actual Ledger Bitcoin app firmware behavior. The new test verifies that when a wallet policy is too confusing to display safely, the app falls back to showing the raw technical descriptor instead of a user-friendly version. This is a defensive test for an existing safety mechanism, not a fix for a vulnerability.

Recommended action
