Add proactive QR code size validation and checks

- Add isContentSuitableForQRCode() helper function with 2900 character limit
- Check QR code size before attempting generation in both activities
- Prevent fullscreen QR viewer from launching when data is too large
- Use conservative 2900 character limit (vs theoretical 2953 max)
- Add size validation in both PolycentricBackupActivity and QRCodeFullscreenActivity
- Improve user experience by failing fast with clear error messages

This ensures QR codes are only generated when they have a reasonable
chance of success, and prevents unnecessary attempts to generate
QR codes that are too large for reliable scanning.
