[code-mode] Reject remote image URLs from output helpers (#27732)

## Summary

- reject HTTP(S) image URLs from the shared code-mode output-image
normalization path
- return a concise model-visible tool error so the model can recover on
its next turn
- apply the targeted rejection to both `image()` and `generatedImage()`
- leave other non-empty image URL values to existing downstream handling

The returned error is:

> Tool call failed: remote image URLs are not supported in tool outputs.
Pass a base64 data URI instead

## Why

Responses Lite cannot lower a remote image URL emitted from a structured
tool output. Rejecting HTTP(S) values in the Codex harness preserves the
tool-call metadata and gives the model a recoverable next turn instead
of invalidating the sample.

## Test coverage

The regression is covered primarily by a `test_codex()` agent
integration test that simulates the Responses API exchange and asserts
the failed model-visible exec output. A supplemental runtime test covers
both `http://` and `https://` inputs across both image output helpers.

## Test plan

- `cd codex-rs && just test -p codex-code-mode`
- `cd codex-rs && just test -p codex-code-mode-protocol`
- `cd codex-rs && just test -p codex-core
code_mode_image_helper_rejects_remote_url`
- `cd codex-rs && just fmt`
- `git diff --check origin/main...HEAD`

- Global helpers:
- `exit()`: Immediately ends the current script successfully (like an early return from the top level).
- `text(value: string | number | boolean | undefined | null)`: Appends a text item. Non-string values are stringified with `JSON.stringify(...)` when possible.
- `image(imageUrlOrItem: string | { image_url: string; detail?: "auto" | "low" | "high" | "original" | null } | ImageContent, detail?: "auto" | "low" | "high" | "original" | null)`: Appends an image item. `image_url` can be an HTTPS URL or a base64-encoded `data:` URL. To forward an MCP tool image, pass an individual `ImageContent` block from `result.content`, for example `image(result.content[0])`. MCP image blocks may request detail with `_meta: { "codex/imageDetail": "original" }`. When provided, the second `detail` argument overrides any detail embedded in the first argument.
- `generatedImage(result: { image_url: string; output_hint?: string })`: Appends an image-generation result and its optional output hint.
- `image(imageUrlOrItem: string | { image_url: string; detail?: "auto" | "low" | "high" | "original" | null } | ImageContent, detail?: "auto" | "low" | "high" | "original" | null)`: Appends an image item. `image_url` should be a base64-encoded `data:` URL.

- `store(key: string, value: any)`: stores a serializable value under a string key for later `exec` calls in the same session.
- `load(key: string)`: returns the stored value for a string key, or `undefined` if it is missing.
- `notify(value: string | number | boolean | undefined | null)`: immediately injects an extra `custom_tool_call_output` for the current `exec` call. Values are stringified like `text(...)`.
