Michael Bolin d6c4083f98 feat: support dotenv (including ~/.codex/.env) (#1653)
This PR adds a `load_dotenv()` helper function to the `codex-common`
crate that is available when the `cli` feature is enabled. The function
uses [`dotenvy`](https://crates.io/crates/dotenvy) to update the
environment from:

- `$CODEX_HOME/.env`
- `$(pwd)/.env`

To test:

- ran `printenv OPENAI_API_KEY` to verify the env var exists in my
environment
- ran `just codex exec hello` to verify the CLI uses my `OPENAI_API_KEY`
- ran `unset OPENAI_API_KEY`
- ran `just codex exec hello` again and got **ERROR: Missing environment
variable: `OPENAI_API_KEY`**, as expected
- created `~/.codex/.env` and added `OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-...` (also
ran `chmod 400 ~/.codex/.env` for good measure)
- ran `just codex exec hello` again and it worked, verifying it picked
up `OPENAI_API_KEY` from `~/.codex/.env`

Note this functionality was available in the TypeScript CLI:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/122 and was recently requested over
on https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/1262#issuecomment-3093203551.
