[codex] Steer budget-limited goal extension turns (#23718)

Browse Source 
## What
- Add a small extension capability for injecting model-visible response
items into the active turn
- Have the goal extension inject hidden goal-context steering when
tool-finish accounting reaches `BudgetLimited`
- Cover the extension backend path with an assertion on the injected
steering item

## Why
PR #23696 persists and emits the budget-limited goal update from
tool-finish accounting, but it leaves the model unaware of that
transition. The existing core runtime steers the model to wrap up in
this case; the extension path should do the same through an explicit
host capability.

## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-goal-extension`
- `cargo test -p codex-extension-api`
