feat(core,python): definitions payload version

- reinterpret the definitions magic `trzd1` as magic + version, i.e.
`trzd` + `1`
- this allows us to release backwards incompatible definitions with a
bumped version
- this is a necessary preparation for a signature quorum change

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors how Trezor firmware recognizes external 'definitions' files (the data blobs that describe Ethereum networks and tokens). It splits the old 5-byte header 'trzd1' into a 4-byte magic 'trzd' plus a 1-byte version number. The change is framed by the authors as a necessary preparation for a future signature-quorum change, not as a fix for an active vulnerability. No currently reachable security flaw is present in the diff; the code still only accepts version '1', which keeps the existing 2-of-3 signature requirement.

Recommended action

No urgent action required. Treat as a normal feature/refactoring commit. Monitor the follow-up change that actually introduces a new format version / signature-quorum, because that is where real security assumptions will shift.

Security signals we found

01

Hardcoded signature threshold moved into versioned enum

02

New input validation for definition format version byte

03

No new version actually enabled; only V1 remains supported

04

Commit message describes future signature-quorum change, not a current vulnerability

05

Tests added for unsupported format versions and mangled magic
