harden: escape every interpolation into popup innerHTML, and add default-src to both manifests (closes #307)
All checks were successful

A hostile ERC-20's symbol() reached an innerHTML string unescaped, and neither
manifest declared default-src, so an attacker deploying a token with 1,000+
holders and airdropping one unit could render a full-viewport cross-origin
iframe over the wallet's own UI, on screens where the user types their
password.

escapeHtml is now a pure string replace over & < > " ' — the old version
round-tripped through textContent, which escapes neither quote, while already
being used inside data-copy="...". All 19 files in src/popup/views/ were
audited: beyond the reported symbol site, the explorer-supplied directionLabel
in all three transaction lists, wallet.name, addr.ensName, the blockie data:
URIs and two ad-hoc quote-only escapes were also unescaped. Explorer URLs now
go through one helper that percent-encodes the path segment.

Both manifests add default-src 'self', frame-src 'none', form-action 'none' and
base-uri 'none'. Three loosenings are pinned in tests/manifest.test.js and
justified in README.md: style-src 'unsafe-inline' (39 static style attributes;
Firefox implements neither style-src-attr nor 'unsafe-hashes'), img-src data:
(blockies), connect-src https: http: (user-configurable RPC).

Note frame-src 'none' blocks a frame loading, not the element existing, so the
zero-iframe assertion is a claim about the escaping alone; the test asserts the
element count and the literal rendered text separately, taking the count before
any click an overlay could intercept.

Verified: make check 39 suites / 811 tests, test-e2e 55/55 including the
WebAssembly-under-CSP assertion, test-e2e-firefox 8/8, zero CSP violations
asserted rather than merely unobserved. Reverting only balanceLine's
interpolation reproduces the attack as 2 iframes on the address screen.

// ------------------------------------------- hostile token symbol (#307)
//
// The reproduction from the issue, in the real browser against the real
// shipped manifest. A token symbol is whatever the contract's symbol()
// returns, the explorer passes it through, and the popup interpolated it
// into an innerHTML string — so a token with 1,000 holders airdropped to
// the victim could paint a full-viewport cross-origin iframe over the
// wallet's own UI, on the screens where the user types their password.
//
// The iframe count and the rendered text are asserted separately on
// purpose, and neither substitutes for the other. `frame-src 'none'` stops
// an injected frame LOADING; it does not stop the element existing, so a
// zero iframe count is a claim about the escaping and about nothing else.
// The literal capped text is the claim that the symbol was treated as a
// string all the way down.
//
// The iframe count is taken on the address screen before anything is
// clicked. That is where the injected frame lands first, and it covers the
// viewport: with the escaping removed, every later step fails as a click
// timeout ("<iframe id=\"pwn\"> intercepts pointer events") rather than as
