Description

## The Issue

I want to be able to import a LBC paper wallet account into the LBRY app.

New feature request.

### Expected behaviour
QR scan of the code or manual entry that then imports or sweeps the wallet contents into the current wallet or perhaps create an entirely new wallet, but I would think it just getting opened then imported would be best, so a transaction would occur.

### Actual behaviour
no current way to import this wallet. at least not automatically.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the app's existing wallet import or creation flows and any QR-scanning path; clarify whether the intended outcome is importing or sweeping into the current wallet or creating a new wallet. Done should include a defined flow for paper-wallet entry and verification of the resulting balance and transaction behavior.
