core: wrap token budget window context (#29494)

Token-budget initial context carries thread and context-window lineage
that the model should treat as one structured context-window block.
Wrapping it in `<context_window>` makes that boundary explicit while
preserving the existing window id content.

Before this change, the window identifiers were injected as an untagged
developer text fragment:

```text
Thread id <THREAD_ID>.
First context window id: <FIRST_WINDOW_ID>
Current context window id: <WINDOW_ID>
Previous context window id: <PREVIOUS_WINDOW_ID>
```

After this change, the same payload is wrapped as a context-window
block:

```text
<context_window>
Thread id: <THREAD_ID>
First context window id: <FIRST_WINDOW_ID>
Current context window id: <WINDOW_ID>
Previous context window id: <PREVIOUS_WINDOW_ID>
</context_window>
```

This adds shared `CONTEXT_WINDOW_*_TAG` protocol constants, updates
`TokenBudgetContext` to render with those markers, treats the new
wrapper as contextual developer content when mapping history, and
refreshes the token-budget request-shape assertions and snapshot.

Verification:
- `just test -p codex-core token_budget`
- `just test -p codex-core
recognizes_context_window_as_contextual_developer_content`
