auth: let AuthManager own external bearer auth (#16287)

## Summary

`AuthManager` and `UnauthorizedRecovery` already own token resolution
and staged `401` recovery. The missing piece for provider auth was a
bearer-only mode that still fit that design, instead of pushing a second
auth abstraction into `codex-core`.

This PR keeps the design centered on `AuthManager`: it teaches
`codex-login` how to own external bearer auth directly so later provider
work can keep calling `AuthManager.auth()` and `UnauthorizedRecovery`.

## Motivation

This is the middle layer for #15189.

The intended design is still:

- `AuthManager` encapsulates token storage and refresh
- `UnauthorizedRecovery` powers staged `401` recovery
- all request tokens go through `AuthManager.auth()`

This PR makes that possible for provider-backed bearer tokens by adding
a bearer-only auth mode inside `AuthManager` instead of building
parallel request-auth plumbing in `core`.

## What Changed

- move `ModelProviderAuthInfo` into `codex-protocol` so `core` and
`login` share one config shape
- add `login/src/auth/external_bearer.rs`, which runs the configured
command, caches the bearer token in memory, and refreshes it after `401`
- add `AuthManager::external_bearer_only(...)` for provider-scoped
request paths that should use command-backed bearer auth without
mutating the shared OpenAI auth manager
- add `AuthManager::shared_with_external_chatgpt_auth_refresher(...)`
and rename the other `AuthManager` helpers that only apply to external
ChatGPT auth so the ChatGPT-only path is explicit at the call site
- keep external ChatGPT refresh behavior unchanged while ensuring
bearer-only external auth never persists to `auth.json`

## Testing

- `cargo test -p codex-login`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol`
