feat(core): add `ward` feature flag

Will be used to incrementally introduce WARD-related functionality into
the codebase, while excluding it from production FW builds:

- add `ward` feature to the firmware build
- add `trezorward` MicroPython module, backed by a new `ward` module in
`trezor_lib` that depends on the shared `trezor-ward` crate

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new disabled-by-default feature flag called 'ward' to the Trezor firmware build system. It does not change any production firmware behavior; it only wires up a placeholder MicroPython module and build options so that future WARD-related code can be developed safely behind the flag. There is no security vulnerability visible in this change.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal feature-flag scaffolding. If auditing future WARD functionality, verify that the `ward` feature remains disabled in production build configurations and that any newly added `trezorward` module functions are reviewed before being enabled.

Security signals we found

01

New feature flag is disabled by default and gated behind optional Cargo features

02

Commit message explicitly states intent to exclude WARD from production firmware builds

03

New MicroPython module is a stub with no exported functions beyond __name__

04

No changes to cryptographic, storage, authentication, or UI code paths
