feat: add support for -c/--config to override individual config items (#1137)
This PR introduces support for `-c`/`--config` so users can override individual config values on the command line using `--config name=value`. Example: ``` codex --config model=o4-mini ``` Making it possible to set arbitrary config values on the command line results in a more flexible configuration scheme and makes it easier to provide single-line examples that can be copy-pasted from documentation. Effectively, it means there are four levels of configuration for some values: - Default value (e.g., `model` currently defaults to `o4-mini`) - Value in `config.toml` (e.g., user could override the default to be `model = "o3"` in their `config.toml`) - Specifying `-c` or `--config` to override `model` (e.g., user can include `-c model=o3` in their list of args to Codex) - If available, a config-specific flag can be used, which takes precedence over `-c` (e.g., user can specify `--model o3` in their list of args to Codex) Now that it is possible to specify anything that could be configured in `config.toml` on the command line using `-c`, we do not need to have a custom flag for every possible config option (which can clutter the output of `--help`). To that end, as part of this PR, we drop support for the `--disable-response-storage` flag, as users can now specify `-c disable_response_storage=true` to get the equivalent functionality. Under the hood, this works by loading the `config.toml` into a `toml::Value`. Then for each `key=value`, we create a small synthetic TOML file with `value` so that we can run the TOML parser to get the equivalent `toml::Value`. We then parse `key` to determine the point in the original `toml::Value` to do the insert/replace. Once all of the overrides from `-c` args have been applied, the `toml::Value` is deserialized into a `ConfigToml` and then the `ConfigOverrides` are applied, as before.
