Michael Bolin e16657ca45 feat: add --json flag to codex exec (#1603)
This is designed to facilitate programmatic use of Codex in a more
lightweight way than using `codex mcp`.

Passing `--json` to `codex exec` will print each event as a line of JSON
to stdout. Note that it does not print the individual tokens as they are
streamed, only full messages, as this is aimed at programmatic use
rather than to power UI.

/>

I changed the existing `EventProcessor` into a trait and moved the
implementation to `EventProcessorWithHumanOutput`. Then I introduced an
alternative implementation, `EventProcessorWithJsonOutput`. The `--json`
flag determines which implementation to use.
