Option MICROSD_TOAST_TIMER_FOREVER refactor

- Prevent escaping the RemoveMicroSDWarningView by launching SettingsEntryUpdateSelectionView
in a blocking mode. If the tracked setting remains unchanged, Back/normal navigation
returns to the blocking view (RemoveMicroSDWarningView).
- Only 2 ways of escaping this mode: 1) physically removing MicroSD and
2) modifying the setting
- Add test tests/test_flows.py::TestFlowTest::test_remove_microsd_blocking covering:

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how SeedSigner handles a warning screen that appears when a MicroSD card is inserted but the device is set to never show reminders about it. Previously, users could simply dismiss the warning and continue using the device with the MicroSD still inserted. After this change, the warning becomes harder to bypass: users must either physically remove the MicroSD card or change the setting that suppresses the reminders. The change is framed by the project as a refactor of a settings option, not as a security fix.

Recommended action

Treat this as a hardening or UX-safety change rather than an urgent vulnerability patch. Review whether the original dismiss behavior was considered a security issue by the project, and verify the new blocking flow does not introduce unintended lockout or navigation bugs. No immediate incident response is indicated by the commit content alone.
