harden: show a personal message's hex and its text in byte order, hidden characters marked (closes #403)

The signature screen showed only the text a personal message decodes
to, with bidirectional, right-to-left and zero-width characters acting
on it, so a site could make the message read differently from the
bytes that are signed, and a message that was not hex was decoded into
NUL characters. The screen now shows the hex as "Raw data" alongside
the text, lays the text out left to right in byte order, and shows
each control character and each character that paints nothing (the set
src/shared/symbolSpoof.js already strips) as a U+XXXX mark. A message
is hex when getBytes, which signing uses, reads it; one that is not
cannot be signed, so it is shown as plain text with "Sign" disabled.

// The signature prompt shows a personal message as the bytes that are signed
// (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/403): the raw data in hex, the
// text it decodes to with control characters and characters that paint
// nothing marked rather than obeyed, laid out in byte order, and a message
// that is not hex as plain text that cannot be signed.
//
// Driven against a minimal DOM stub in the shape
// tests/approvalOrigin.test.js uses. That the layout keeps right-to-left
// characters in byte order needs a real browser: tests/e2e/run.js checks it.
