[codex] Remove unused Rust helpers (#17146)

## Summary

Removes high-confidence unused Rust helper functions and exports across
`codex-tui`, `codex-shell-command`, and utility crates.

The cleanup includes dead TUI helper methods, unused
path/string/elapsed/fuzzy-match utilities, an unused Windows PowerShell
lookup helper, and the unused terminal palette version counter. This
keeps the remaining public surface smaller without changing behavior.

## Validation

- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui -p codex-shell-command -p codex-utils-elapsed
-p codex-utils-fuzzy-match -p codex-utils-string -p codex-utils-path`
- `just fix -p codex-tui -p codex-shell-command -p codex-utils-elapsed
-p codex-utils-fuzzy-match -p codex-utils-string -p codex-utils-path`
- `git diff --check`
