refactor(core): simplify THP write-related code

- move fragmentation code into `PacketHeader.fragment_payload()`
- use `ThpContext.write_payload()` to send responses to the host
- precompute `INIT_HEADER_LENGTH` and `CONT_HEADER_LENGTH`
- remove most of `trezor.write.thp.writer` code

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup (refactor) inside the Trezor firmware's THP (Trezor Host Protocol) transport layer. It moves packet-fragmentation logic into a new helper method, removes an old writer module, and makes all sending paths use a single context method. There is no indication in the commit or supplied references that this fixes a security bug; it appears to be a maintainability improvement only.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as routine refactoring. Standard regression testing of THP packet fragmentation and retransmission is sufficient.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
