feat: show red warning when sending to address with zero tx history

On the confirm-tx screen, asynchronously check the recipient address
via Blockscout API. If the address has never sent or received any
transactions (normal or ERC-20), display a prominent red warning.

Fails open: network errors silently skip the warning to avoid
blocking legitimate sends.

Closes #82
