ui: add a better UI for index selection vs PIN entry

Allow entering just the number required when entering indices rather
than having to populate all digits including leading zeros.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a user-interface refactor for the Blockstream Jade hardware wallet. It replaces a PIN-only digit-entry screen with a shared 'digit entry' widget that can also accept shorter numeric indices (for things like BIP85 child mnemonic indexes or account indexes). The PIN entry behavior itself is preserved: PINs still require all six digits. The main functional change is that index entry can now be shorter than six digits, which is a usability improvement rather than a security fix. There is no vendor statement that this change addresses a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No immediate security action is required. Treat this as a normal feature/usability commit. If reviewing for security, verify that callers using DIGIT_ENTRY_INDEX correctly validate the returned number against their documented maximums and that the new 'enter' path cannot be triggered for PIN entry (the code asserts this, but a quick static check is worthwhile).

Security signals we found

01

UI-only refactor with no change to PIN size, PIN validation, key derivation, or storage

02

New index-entry mode allows shorter numeric input, bounded by existing caller-side maximum checks

03

No buffer size changes: arrays remain DIGIT_ENTRY_SIZE (6) bytes

04

No vendor claim of security relevance, CVE, or researcher attribution in commit or supplied references
