Subject: [PATCH] Skip update prompts for source builds (#17186)

Addresses #17166

Problem: Source builds report version 0.0.0, so the TUI update path can
treat any released Codex version as upgradeable and show startup or
popup prompts.

Solution: Skip both TUI update prompt entry points when the running CLI
version is the source-build sentinel 0.0.0.
