Prefer env var auth over default codex auth (#1861)

## Summary
- Prioritize provider-specific API keys over default Codex auth when
building requests
- Add test to ensure provider env var auth overrides default auth

## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix` *(fails: `let` expressions in this position are unstable)*
- `cargo test --all-features` *(fails: `let` expressions in this
position are unstable)*
