Mark coordinator-supplied change data as claimed

Nothing in a psbt proves the fingerprints and derivation paths it
carries, but change_data's fingerprint and derivation_path keys read
like facts -- the change details view splits one into a wallet path and
hands it straight to get_xpub. Renaming them to claimed_fingerprint and
claimed_derivation_path, along with the locals that carry them, puts the
trust boundary in the data itself rather than in the logic around it.

The class docstring now states the convention behind the prefix:
claimed_ for coordinator-supplied metadata, verified_ for what this
device proved by re-deriving from the signing seed, and the invariant
that no verified_ value comes from a claimed_ one without a derivation
in between. It also records that change_data covers self-transfers, not
just change-branch outputs. No logic changes; the two dict keys are the
only behavioral difference.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup and documentation change, not a security fix. It renames variables and dictionary keys from 'fingerprint' and 'derivation_path' to 'claimed_fingerprint' and 'claimed_derivation_path' to make it clearer that data coming from a PSBT is coordinator-supplied and unverified. No program behavior changes; the same values flow the same way.

Recommended action

No action required. Treat as a maintainability/documentation improvement. Continue to verify that future commits actually enforce the documented invariant (re-derivation before assigning verified_ values).

Security signals we found
