jameswt-oai e512e884ed [codex-analytics] Analytics Capture to File in Debug Builds (#27093) ...

## This PR

The original [combined remote plugin analytics PR
#26281](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/26281) mixed reusable
analytics test infrastructure, two manual smoke workflows, a metadata
refactor, and the final identity behavior. This PR isolates the generic
capture mechanism so it can be reviewed and landed before any
plugin-specific behavior.

- Add a debug-only analytics destination that writes final request
payloads as JSONL.
- Suppress HTTP delivery whenever capture mode is selected, including
after capture write failures.
- Keep release behavior unchanged even when the capture environment
variable is present.
- Keep the mechanism generic; this PR contains no plugin-specific
behavior.

Set `CODEX_ANALYTICS_EVENTS_CAPTURE_FILE=/path/events.jsonl` when
running a debug Codex binary to inspect the exact batched payload that
would otherwise be sent to the analytics endpoint.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-analytics` (76 passed)
- `just test --release -p codex-analytics` (73 passed)
- CI is green across the required platform matrix.
