Dylan Hurd bffe9b33e9 chore(core) Create instructions module (#9422)
## Summary
We have a variety of things we refer to as instructions in the code
base: our current canonical terms are:
- base instructions (raw string)
- developer instructions (has a type in protocol)
- user instructions

We also have `instructions` floating around in various places. We should
standardize on the above, and start using types to prevent them from
ending up in the wrong place. There will be additional PRs, but I'm
going to keep these small so we can easily follow them!

## Testing
- [x] Tests pass, this is purely a file move

codex-core

This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.

Dependencies

Note that codex-core makes some assumptions about certain helper utilities being available in the environment. Currently, this support matrix is:

macOS

Expects /usr/bin/sandbox-exec to be present.

When using the workspace-write sandbox policy, the Seatbelt profile allows writes under the configured writable roots while keeping .git (directory or pointer file), the resolved gitdir: target, and .codex read-only.

Linux

Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox linux (legacy alias: codex debug landlock) when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.

All Platforms

Expects the binary containing codex-core to simulate the virtual apply_patch CLI when arg1 is --codex-run-as-apply-patch. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
