Add PermissionRequest hooks support (#17563)

## Why

We need `PermissionRequest` hook support!

Also addresses:
- https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16301
- run a script on Hook to do things like play a sound to draw attention
but actually no-op so user can still approve
- can omit the `decision` object from output or just have the script
exit 0 and print nothing
- https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/15311
  - let the script approve/deny on its own
  - external UI what will run on Hook and relay decision back to codex


## Reviewer Note

There's a lot of plumbing for the new hook, key files to review are:
- New hook added in `codex-rs/hooks/src/events/permission_request.rs`
- Wiring for network approvals
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/network_approval.rs`
- Wiring for tool orchestrator `codex-rs/core/src/tools/orchestrator.rs`
- Wiring for execve
`codex-rs/core/src/tools/runtimes/shell/unix_escalation.rs`

## What

- Wires shell, unified exec, and network approval prompts into the
`PermissionRequest` hook flow.
- Lets hooks allow or deny approval prompts; quiet or invalid hooks fall
back to the normal approval path.
- Uses `tool_input.description` for user-facing context when it helps:
  - shell / `exec_command`: the request justification, when present
  - network approvals: `network-access <domain>`
- Uses `tool_name: Bash` for shell, unified exec, and network approval
permission-request hooks.
- For network approvals, passes the originating command in
`tool_input.command` when there is a single owning call; otherwise falls
back to the synthetic `network-access ...` command.

  }
}

## Follow-ups

- Implement the `PermissionRequest` semantics for `updatedInput`,
`updatedPermissions`, `interrupt`, and suggestions /
`permission_suggestions`
- Add `PermissionRequest` support for the `request_permissions` tool
path
