Dylan e4c275d615 [apply-patch] Clean up apply-patch tool definitions (#2539) ...

## Summary
We've experienced a bit of drift in system prompting for `apply_patch`:
- As pointed out in #2030 , our prettier formatting started altering
prompt.md in a few ways
- We introduced a separate markdown file for apply_patch instructions in
#993, but currently duplicate them in the prompt.md file
- We added a first-class apply_patch tool in #2303, which has yet
another definition

This PR starts to consolidate our logic in a few ways:
- We now only use
`apply_patch_tool_instructions.md](https://github.com/openai/codex/compare/dh--apply-patch-tool-definition?expand=1#diff-d4fffee5f85cb1975d3f66143a379e6c329de40c83ed5bf03ffd3829df985bea)
for system instructions
- We no longer include apply_patch system instructions if the tool is
specified

I'm leaving the definition in openai_tools.rs as duplicated text for now
because we're going to be iterated on the first-class tool soon.

## Testing
- [x] Added integration tests to verify prompt stability
- [x] Tested locally with several different models (gpt-5, gpt-oss,
o4-mini)
