Helmut Januschka 7daaabc795 fix: add tui.alternate_screen config and --no-alt-screen CLI flag for Zellij scrollback (#8555) ...

Fixes #2558

Codex uses alternate screen mode (CSI 1049) which, per xterm spec,
doesn't support scrollback. Zellij follows this strictly, so users can't
scroll back through output.

**Changes:**
- Add `tui.alternate_screen` config: `auto` (default), `always`, `never`
- Add `--no-alt-screen` CLI flag
- Auto-detect Zellij and skip alt screen (uses existing `ZELLIJ` env var
detection)

**Usage:**
```bash
# CLI flag
codex --no-alt-screen

# Or in config.toml
[tui]
alternate_screen = "never"
```

With default `auto` mode, Zellij users get working scrollback without
any config changes.
