Remove legacy --full-auto handling from codex exec (#36054)

## What changed

Stop accepting the hidden, deprecated `--full-auto` flag in `codex exec` and
remove its implicit mapping to the `workspace-write` sandbox. Callers must now
select the sandbox mode explicitly with `--sandbox workspace-write`.
