Update defaults to gpt-5.1 (#6652)

## Summary
- update documentation, example configs, and automation defaults to
reference gpt-5.1 / gpt-5.1-codex
- bump the CLI and core configuration defaults, model presets, and error
messaging to the new models while keeping the model-family/tool coverage
for legacy slugs
- refresh tests, fixtures, and TUI snapshots so they expect the upgraded
defaults

## Testing
- `cargo test -p codex-core
config::tests::test_precedence_fixture_with_gpt5_profile`
