This PR adds the following:
* A getAuthStatus method on the mcp server. This returns the auth method
currently in use (chatgpt or apikey) or none if the user is not
authenticated. It also returns the "preferred auth method" which
reflects the `preferred_auth_method` value in the config.
* A logout method on the mcp server. If called, it logs out the user and
deletes the `auth.json` file — the same behavior in the cli's `/logout`
command.
* An `authStatusChange` event notification that is sent when the auth
status changes due to successful login or logout operations.
* Logic to pass command-line config overrides to the mcp server at
startup time. This allows use cases like `codex mcp -c
preferred_auth_method=apikey`.
This pull request implements a fix from #2000, as well as fixed an
additional problem with path lengths on windows that prevents the login
from displaying.

This does not implement the full Login with ChatGPT experience, but it
should unblock people.
**What works**
* The `codex` multitool now has a `login` subcommand, so you can run
`codex login`, which should write `CODEX_HOME/auth.json` if you complete
the flow successfully. The TUI will now read the `OPENAI_API_KEY` from
`auth.json`.
* The TUI should refresh the token if it has expired and the necessary
information is in `auth.json`.
* There is a `LoginScreen` in the TUI that tells you to run `codex
login` if both (1) your model provider expects to use `OPENAI_API_KEY`
as its env var, and (2) `OPENAI_API_KEY` is not set.
**What does not work**
* The `LoginScreen` does not support the login flow from within the TUI.
Instead, it tells you to quit, run `codex login`, and then run `codex`
again.
* `codex exec` does read from `auth.json` yet, nor does it direct the
user to go through the login flow if `OPENAI_API_KEY` is not be found.
* The `maybeRedeemCredits()` function from `get-api-key.tsx` has not
been ported from TypeScript to `login_with_chatgpt.py` yet:
a67a67f325/codex-cli/src/utils/get-api-key.tsx (L84-L89)
**Implementation**
Currently, the OAuth flow requires running a local webserver on
`127.0.0.1:1455`. It seemed wasteful to incur the additional binary cost
of a webserver dependency in the Rust CLI just to support login, so
instead we implement this logic in Python, as Python has a `http.server`
module as part of its standard library. Specifically, we bundle the
contents of a single Python file as a string in the Rust CLI and then
use it to spawn a subprocess as `python3 -c
{{SOURCE_FOR_PYTHON_SERVER}}`.
As such, the most significant files in this PR are:
```
codex-rs/login/src/login_with_chatgpt.py
codex-rs/login/src/lib.rs
```
Now that the CLI may load `OPENAI_API_KEY` from the environment _or_
`CODEX_HOME/auth.json`, we need a new abstraction for reading/writing
this variable, so we introduce:
```
codex-rs/core/src/openai_api_key.rs
```
Note that `std::env::set_var()` is [rightfully] `unsafe` in Rust 2024,
so we use a LazyLock<RwLock<Option<String>>> to store `OPENAI_API_KEY`
so it is read in a thread-safe manner.
Ultimately, it should be possible to go through the entire login flow
from the TUI. This PR introduces a placeholder `LoginScreen` UI for that
right now, though the new `codex login` subcommand introduced in this PR
should be a viable workaround until the UI is ready.
**Testing**
Because the login flow is currently implemented in a standalone Python
file, you can test it without building any Rust code as follows:
```
rm -rf /tmp/codex_home && mkdir /tmp/codex_home
CODEX_HOME=/tmp/codex_home python3 codex-rs/login/src/login_with_chatgpt.py
```
