[Frontend] Albedo and xBull connectors return fabricated mock public keys

Why this matters

frontend/src/lib/wallet.ts advertises three wallets in SUPPORTED_WALLETS (Freighter, Albedo, xBull), and WalletModal.tsx renders all three as selectable. But connectAlbedo() and connectXBull() are mocks: they setTimeout for 1.5s and return a buildSession(..., mocked: true) with a fabricated public key like "G" + "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567".substring(0,55). That string is not a valid StrKey (no checksum), so any downstream signing or isValidStellarPublicKey check fails. The file header even claims "No mock sessions are created in production paths," which these violate.

A user who picks Albedo or xBull gets a fake session and silently broken functionality.

Acceptance criteria

• Either implement real Albedo/xBull connectors (e.g. via @creit.tech/stellar-wallets-kit, referenced in the header) …
• …or remove Albedo/xBull from SUPPORTED_WALLETS/WalletModal until implemented (and update the header comment / WalletModal docstring)
• No mocked: true session can be created from the production wallet picker

Files to touch

• frontend/src/lib/wallet.ts
• frontend/src/components/wallet/WalletModal.tsx

Out of scope

• Freighter connector (already real).
