Generalize return value of sign_psbt in the Rust client

In order to support returning pubnonces and partial signatures for
Musig2 support, the objrects returned in sign_psbt are generalized
from PartialSignature to a SignPsbtYieldedObject enum.
This is a breaking change, therefore it requires a major release.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine API update for the Ledger Bitcoin app's Rust client library. It changes what kind of data the library returns when a user signs a Bitcoin transaction (PSBT), so it can also return MuSig2 multi-signature material (public nonces and partial signatures) in addition to ordinary signatures. The commit message explicitly calls this a breaking change that requires a major release. There is no indication of a security bug being fixed or introduced.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal semver-major API change. Consumers of the Rust client should update their code to match the new SignPsbtYieldedObject enum and include a wildcard arm because the enum is #[non_exhaustive].

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
