Suppress navigation for a wake-only tap.

ButtonThread::runOnce() unconditionally dispatches _singlePress, which this configuration sets to INPUT_BROKER_BACK. A tap with the backlight off therefore wakes the screen and navigates back. Suppress INPUT_BROKER_BACK for taps that start with the backlight off, and add a regression check.

In `@src/input/InputBroker.cpp` around lines 251 - 252, Update
ButtonThread::runOnce() to detect taps that begin with the backlight off and
suppress the configured INPUT_BROKER_BACK single-press dispatch while still
allowing the tap to wake the screen. Add a regression check covering this
wake-only tap behavior, preserving normal back navigation when the backlight was
already on.
