fix(rpc,ui): close the last secret residues found by the final-gate review

Two verified medium leaks in the B7 scrub chain:

- parseRpcResult parses the body into a local `response` tree and returns a COPY
  of response["result"] (operator[] yields an lvalue ref, so the by-value return
  copy-constructs). The local tree — holding its own heap copy of the secret — was
  then freed without zeroing, so callSecret/callSecretString still left one
  un-scrubbed copy. Add scrubJsonSecrets() (recursive string zero) and a
  scrubSource flag; the secret paths opt in, wiping the tree before it frees. The
  secret export chain is now fully covered: raw body → parse tree → result copy →
  caller-owned string.

- key_export_dialog cleared s_key with plain std::string::clear() on the Close
  button, the scrim/Esc dismiss path, and the QR cache (s_qr_cached) — leaving the
  displayed private/spending key in freed heap on the ordinary close paths. Route
  all three through wallet::secureWipeLiteSecret (zero-then-clear), matching
  show()/hide().
