add custom context menu to signature text area in message sign dialog
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a standard right-click menu (copy, paste, clear) to the signature text box in Sparrow Wallet's message signing dialog. It is a routine user-interface convenience improvement with no security relevance visible in the code or commit message.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal UI/usability enhancement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change attaches a JavaFX ContextMenu to a TextArea named signature in MessageSignDialog.java. The menu items invoke built-in TextArea methods: copy(), paste(), and clear(). No custom data handling, clipboard manipulation, validation bypass, or cryptographic logic is introduced.
