TUI: Render request_user_input results in history and simplify interrupt handling (#10064)
## Summary
This PR improves the TUI experience for `request_user_input` by
rendering submitted question/answer sets directly in conversation
history with clear, structured formatting.

It also intentionally simplifies interrupt behavior for now: on `Esc` /
`Ctrl+C`, the questions overlay interrupts the turn without attempting
to submit partial answers.

## Scope
- TUI-only changes.
- No core/protocol/app-server behavior changes in this PR.
- Resume reconstruction of interrupted question sets is out of scope for
this PR.

## What Changed
- Added a new history cell: `RequestUserInputResultCell` in
`codex-rs/tui/src/history_cell.rs`.
- On normal `request_user_input` submission, TUI now inserts that
history cell immediately after sending `Op::UserInputAnswer`.
- Rendering includes a `Questions` header with `answered/total` count.
- Rendering shows each question as a bullet item.
- Rendering styles submitted answer lines in cyan.
- Rendering styles notes (for option questions) as `note:` lines in
cyan.
- Rendering styles freeform text (for no-option questions) as `answer:`
lines in cyan.
- Rendering dims only the `(unanswered)` suffix.
- Rendering can include an interrupted suffix and summary text when the
cell is marked interrupted.
- Rendering redacts secret questions as `••••••` instead of showing raw
values.
- Added `wrap_with_prefix(...)` in `history_cell.rs` for wrapped
prefixed lines.
- Added `split_request_user_input_answer(...)` in `history_cell.rs` for
decoding `"user_note: ..."` entries.

## Interrupt Behavior (Intentional for this PR)
- `Esc` / `Ctrl+C` in the questions overlay now performs `Op::Interrupt`
and exits the overlay.
- It does **not** submit partial/committed answers on interrupt.
- Added TODO comments in `request_user_input` overlay interrupt paths
indicating where interrupted partial result emission should be
reintroduced once core support is finalized.
- Queued `request_user_input` overlays are discarded on interrupt in the
current behavior.

## Tests Updated
- Updated/added overlay tests in
`codex-rs/tui/src/bottom_pane/request_user_input/mod.rs` to reflect
interrupt-only behavior.
- Added helper assertion for interrupt-only event expectation.
- Existing submission-path tests now validate history insertion behavior
and expected answer maps.

## Behavior Notes
- Completed question flows now produce a readable `Questions` block in
transcript history.
- Interrupted flows currently do not persist partial answers to
model-visible tool output.

## Follow-ups
- Reintroduce partial-answer-on-interrupt semantics once core can
persist/sequence interrupted `request_user_input` outputs safely.
- Optionally add replay/resume rendering for interrupted question sets
as a separate PR.
