[codex] Use standalone tools for Responses Lite (#26490)

## Summary

Responses Lite does not execute hosted Responses tools, so models using
it must route web search and image generation through Codex-owned
executors & standalone Response's API endpoints.

This PR is stacked on #26487.

## Validation

- `cargo test -p codex-core responses_lite_ --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
standalone_executors_remain_hidden_without_flags_or_responses_lite
--lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-core
hosted_tools_follow_provider_auth_model_and_config_gates --lib`
- `cargo test -p codex-web-search-extension -p
codex-image-generation-extension`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all standalone_`
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
