Add Universal Stellar Wallet Connect Support

[chiscookeke11]

Description

We need to implement a Wallet Connect button that supports connection to multiple Stellar wallets, including:

• Freighter
• Lobstr
• Albedo
• Any compatible Stellar wallet

The goal is to provide a flexible and future-proof wallet connection system that works across the Stellar ecosystem.

Expected Behavior

• A visible "Connect Wallet" button in the UI (e.g., header/navigation)
• Users can choose their preferred Stellar wallet
• Successful connection displays the wallet public address (shortened format)
• Users can disconnect their wallet
• Graceful handling of connection errors or rejected requests
• Fallback handling if a specific wallet is not installed

Scope

• Implement wallet connection abstraction layer
• Support:
  • Freighter browser extension
  • Lobstr wallet (via WalletConnect / deep link if applicable)
  • Albedo web wallet
• Maintain connection state globally (context/store)
• Ensure secure signing flow
• Provide loading and error states

Technical Considerations

• Use Stellar SDK for transaction handling
• Use wallet detection strategy (check injected providers)
• Implement adapter pattern to support multiple wallet providers
• Keep wallet logic modular and extensible for future wallets

Acceptance Criteria

• "Connect Wallet" button is implemented and visible
• Users can connect using Freighter
• Users can connect using Lobstr
• Users can connect using Albedo
• Public key is retrieved and displayed correctly
• Users can disconnect their wallet
• Errors are handled cleanly
• Implementation is extensible for additional Stellar wallets
• No regression in existing UI or functionality
