fix: every balance is cut to four decimals (closes #757)

The balance lists and Home's ETH line rounded with toFixed(4), so 0.99996
ETH read 1.0000 there and 0.9999 on Send. Send's current balance and
ConfirmTx's balance line kept the nonzero floor, so 0.00004 USDC read
0.0000 in the lists and 0.00004 on Send. All four now cut the stored
decimal string with truncateAmount(), as the history rows do.
balanceLine() takes the stored balance string instead of a parsed number,
and escapes the quantity cell. The amounts, fees and allowances a screen
asks the user to approve keep the floor of truncateAmountNeverZero().

-to four places. The screens that state what is being authorized cut as the

+- Home's ETH balance;
+- Send's current balance;
+- ConfirmTx's balance line.

+The screens that state what is being authorized cut as the history does, and
+extend an amount below 0.0001 to its first nonzero digit

 Those screens are:

 - SignApproval's Permit warning;
-- ConfirmTx, and Send's current balance;
+- ConfirmTx's amount and network fee;
 - WaitTx, SuccessTx and ErrorTx.
