Description
The automated BIP39 recovery feature implemented in this PR would also be useful in case of a connected hardware wallet instead of recovering from bip39 seed.
I might find the time to propose a PR for this if this is considered worthwhile and nobody else wants to, although I have no experience with qt.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the automated BIP39 recovery implementation in PR #6219 and the connected hardware-wallet integration points in Electrum's Qt interface. Determine how the existing recovery flow applies to a connected hardware wallet; done means the feature works for that case and has appropriate coverage, though no test location is named.
