frontend: hide taproot account info #2858

Using Taproot extended public keys in raw xpub format is not widely supported and can lead to dangerous misuse. This hides the Taproot extended public key and displays an info message instead.

Most wallets will default to P2PKH when scanning a raw P2TR xpub, resulting in a non-standard combination of script type and derivation path. Recovering funds sent to addresses like this is difficult and potentially unsafe for users, as the BitBox02 does not support spending from P2PKH outputs.

As long as the BitBoxApp does not support output descriptors, expert users should instead connect their device to other wallet software to view detailed account information.
