feat: notify when a newer version is available (#333)

**Summary**  
This change introduces a new startup check that notifies users if a
newer `@openai/codex` version is available. To avoid spamming, it writes
a small state file recording the last check time and will only re‑check
once every 24 hours.

**What’s Changed**  
- **New file** `src/utils/check-updates.ts`  
  - Runs `npm outdated --global @openai/codex`  
  - Reads/writes `codex-state.json` under `CONFIG_DIR`  
  - Limits checks to once per day (`UPDATE_CHECK_FREQUENCY = 24h`)  
- Uses `boxen` for a styled alert and `which` to locate the npm binary
- **Hooked into** `src/cli.tsx` entrypoint:
  ```ts
  import { checkForUpdates } from "./utils/check-updates";
  // …
  // after loading config
  await checkForUpdates().catch();
  ```
- **Dependencies**  
  - Added `boxen@^8.0.1`, `which@^5.0.0`, `@types/which@^3.0.4`  
- **Tests**  
  - Vitest suite under `tests/check-updates.test.ts`  
  - Snapshot in `__snapshots__/check-updates.test.ts.snap`  

**Motivation**  
Addresses issue #244. Users running a stale global install will now see
a friendly reminder—at most once per day—to upgrade and enjoy the latest
features.

**Test Plan**  
- `getNPMCommandPath()` resolves npm correctly  
- `checkOutdated()` parses `npm outdated` JSON  
- State file prevents repeat alerts within 24h  
- Boxen snapshot matches expected output  
- No console output when state indicates a recent check

**Preview**
Prompt a pnpm‑style alert when outdated

Let me know if you’d tweak any of the messaging, throttle frequency,
placement in the startup flow, or anything else.
