Michael Bolin e0d7ac51d3 fix: policy/*.codexpolicy -> rules/*.rules (#7888)
We decided that `*.rules` is a more fitting (and concise) file extension
than `*.codexpolicy`, so we are changing the file extension for the
"execpolicy" effort. We are also changing the subfolder of `$CODEX_HOME`
from `policy` to `rules` to match.

This PR updates the in-repo docs and we will update the public docs once
the next CLI release goes out.

Locally, I created `~/.codex/rules/default.rules` with the following
contents:

```
prefix_rule(pattern=["gh", "pr", "view"])
```

And then I asked Codex to run:

```
gh pr view 7888 --json title,body,comments
```

and it was able to!

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.

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.
