Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes UI lockups during startup by reducing unnecessary blocking operations with hardware keys and streamlining the key detection logic.
- Removed the redundant mutex-locked findValidKeys function and its declaration.
- Introduced a m_findingKeys flag to prevent concurrent key scans in asynchronous contexts.
- Removed extra mutex locks in functions like foundKeys(), connectedKeys(), and challenge().

If it does than great! I didn't test those scenarios yet. On the surface those appear to be the same problem. |

Fixes #11998 Avoids UI lockups by removing several unnecessary mutex blocks and avoiding redundant key detection calls. Detect Yubikeys dynamically when challenging: Prevents issue where correct key cannot be found if the internal state was reset prior to saving This can occur if a user has multiple tabs open and multiple keys connected. Then switches to a locked tab without their DB key inserted which resets detection state. Side Benefit - ensures proper cascade between USB and PC/SC interfaces so users can switch between the two modes seamlessly.
