fix: the defective xprv wallet notice names the keys that still reach its addresses (closes #255)

The notice told the user that these addresses are reachable by software
that repeats the same derivation, while the same wallet blocks Export
Private Key, so there was no way to take that route from here. The
second paragraph now names private key export among the disabled
controls and says the addresses can be reached outside this wallet with
the extended private key the user imported, if they kept a copy of it,
or with the master extended private key or recovery phrase it came
from. No behaviour changes. A test checks the new wording.
