refactor(core/stellar): describe amounts with StellarToken instead of StellarAsset.

A SEP-41 token need not be backed by a classic asset, so StellarAsset cannot
describe one: it carries no precision, and a token that is not a Stellar Asset
Contract has no issuer. StellarToken holds just what the screens need -- symbol,
precision, optional issuer -- and formats amounts with its own precision,
replacing format_asset and the 7-decimal assumption in format_amount.

No behavior change: every token still resolves to seven decimals.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a code cleanup (refactor) in the Stellar cryptocurrency support. It replaces an older way of describing tokens on screen with a new internal data structure, but explicitly keeps the same user-visible behavior: every token is still shown with seven decimal places. The change also adds a test confirming that for the native Stellar asset (XLM), any code or issuer supplied by a host computer is ignored, preventing a host from mislabeling XLM as another asset. There is no indication this fixes an active security bug; it is preparation for future SEP-41 token support.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as routine maintenance/refactor. Monitor follow-up commits that may actually enable non-7-decimal SEP-41 tokens, as that is where display-precision bugs could affect user confirmations.

Security signals we found

03

Removes hard-coded 7-decimal assumption in formatting helper, though current behavior remains 7 decimals

04

No changelog entry

05

No CVE, advisory, or security disclosure referenced
