fix: judge the symbol a user sees, not the bytes a contract returns (closes #260)

A token whose symbol is " ETH " missed KNOWN_SYMBOLS on all three surfaces
while HTML collapsed the padding and painted it as ETH next to the user's
real ETH. isSpoofedSymbol() now normalizes before the lookup: NFKC, every
Unicode format character removed wherever it sits, then trimmed, then
uppercased. All three surfaces inherit it unchanged.

Covered: ASCII and Unicode whitespace padding, zero-width and other
invisible format characters, and compatibility variants such as fullwidth
letters. Knowingly left open, and asserted as open in the suite: confusables
that are distinct letters (Cyrillic capital Ie), bidi reordering, and
interior whitespace, which renders differently and so is not the confusion.

No symbol in KNOWN_SYMBOLS or the bundled token list contains whitespace or
a non-ASCII character, so nothing legitimate is newly filtered; a test walks
the whole table and asserts it.

The balance list's token-type gate is now case-insensitive. It compared
exactly, so an explorer writing "erc-20" would silently drop a real holding
before any filter ran. Which types are admitted is unchanged.
