- prefix command approval reasons with "Reason:"
- show keyboard shortcuts for some ListSelectionItems
- remove "description" lines for approval options, and make the labels
more verbose
- add a spacer line in diff display after the path
and some other minor refactors that go along with the above.

## Summary
- allow selection popups to specify their empty state message
- show a "loading..." placeholder in the file search popup while matches
are pending
- update other popup call sites to continue using a "no matches" message
## Testing
- just fmt
- just fix -p codex-tui
- cargo test -p codex-tui

This will make @ more discoverable (even though it is currently not
super useful, IMO it should be used to bring files into context from
outside CWD)

Simplify and improve many UI elements.
* Remove all-around borders in most places. These interact badly with
terminal resizing and look heavy. Prefer left-side-only borders.
* Make the viewport adjust to the size of its contents.
* <kbd>/</kbd> and <kbd>@</kbd> autocomplete boxes appear below the
prompt, instead of above it.
* Restyle the keyboard shortcut hints & move them to the left.
* Restyle the approval dialog.
* Use synchronized rendering to avoid flashing during rerenders.

Proof of concept for a resizable viewport.
The general approach here is to duplicate the `Terminal` struct from
ratatui, but with our own logic. This is a "light fork" in that we are
still using all the base ratatui functions (`Buffer`, `Widget` and so
on), but we're doing our own bookkeeping at the top level to determine
where to draw everything.
This approach could use improvement—e.g, when the window is resized to a
smaller size, if the UI wraps, we don't correctly clear out the
artifacts from wrapping. This is possible with a little work (i.e.
tracking what parts of our UI would have been wrapped), but this
behavior is at least at par with the existing behavior.

Introduces support for `@` to trigger a fuzzy-filename search in the
composer. Under the hood, this leverages
https://crates.io/crates/nucleo-matcher to do the fuzzy matching and
https://crates.io/crates/ignore to build up the list of file candidates
(so that it respects `.gitignore`).
For simplicity (at least for now), we do not do any caching between
searches like VS Code does for its file search:
1d89ed699b/src/vs/workbench/services/search/node/rawSearchService.ts (L212-L218)
Because we do not do any caching, I saw queries take up to three seconds
on large repositories with hundreds of thousands of files. To that end,
we do not perform searches synchronously on each keystroke, but instead
dispatch an event to do the search on a background thread that
asynchronously reports back to the UI when the results are available.
This is largely handled by the `FileSearchManager` introduced in this
PR, which also has logic for debouncing requests so there is at most one
search in flight at a time.
While we could potentially polish and tune this feature further, it may
already be overengineered for how it will be used, in practice, so we
can improve things going forward if it turns out that this is not "good
enough" in the wild.
Note this feature does not work like `@` in the TypeScript CLI, which
was more like directory-based tab completion. In the Rust CLI, `@`
triggers a full-repo fuzzy-filename search.
Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1261.
