feat: add support for login with ChatGPT (#1212) 
This does not implement the full Login with ChatGPT experience, but it
should unblock people.

**What works**

* The `codex` multitool now has a `login` subcommand, so you can run
`codex login`, which should write `CODEX_HOME/auth.json` if you complete
the flow successfully. The TUI will now read the `OPENAI_API_KEY` from
`auth.json`.
* The TUI should refresh the token if it has expired and the necessary
information is in `auth.json`.
* There is a `LoginScreen` in the TUI that tells you to run `codex
login` if both (1) your model provider expects to use `OPENAI_API_KEY`
as its env var, and (2) `OPENAI_API_KEY` is not set.

**What does not work**

* The `LoginScreen` does not support the login flow from within the TUI.
Instead, it tells you to quit, run `codex login`, and then run `codex`
again.
* `codex exec` does read from `auth.json` yet, nor does it direct the
user to go through the login flow if `OPENAI_API_KEY` is not be found.
* The `maybeRedeemCredits()` function from `get-api-key.tsx` has not
been ported from TypeScript to `login_with_chatgpt.py` yet:

**Implementation**

Currently, the OAuth flow requires running a local webserver on
`127.0.0.1:1455`. It seemed wasteful to incur the additional binary cost
of a webserver dependency in the Rust CLI just to support login, so
instead we implement this logic in Python, as Python has a `http.server`
module as part of its standard library. Specifically, we bundle the
contents of a single Python file as a string in the Rust CLI and then
use it to spawn a subprocess as `python3 -c
{{SOURCE_FOR_PYTHON_SERVER}}`.

As such, the most significant files in this PR are:

```
codex-rs/login/src/login_with_chatgpt.py
codex-rs/login/src/lib.rs
```

Now that the CLI may load `OPENAI_API_KEY` from the environment _or_
`CODEX_HOME/auth.json`, we need a new abstraction for reading/writing
this variable, so we introduce:

```
codex-rs/core/src/openai_api_key.rs
```

Note that `std::env::set_var()` is [rightfully] `unsafe` in Rust 2024,
so we use a LazyLock<RwLock<Option<String>>> to store `OPENAI_API_KEY`
so it is read in a thread-safe manner.

Ultimately, it should be possible to go through the entire login flow
from the TUI. This PR introduces a placeholder `LoginScreen` UI for that
right now, though the new `codex login` subcommand introduced in this PR
should be a viable workaround until the UI is ready.

**Testing**

Because the login flow is currently implemented in a standalone Python
file, you can test it without building any Rust code as follows:

```
rm -rf /tmp/codex_home && mkdir /tmp/codex_home
CODEX_HOME=/tmp/codex_home python3 codex-rs/login/src/login_with_chatgpt.py
```

codex-core

This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.

Though for non-Rust UIs, we are also working to define a protocol for talking to Codex. See:

You can use the proto subcommand using the executable in the cli crate to speak the protocol using newline-delimited-JSON over stdin/stdout.
